Beijing, Beijing, November 28 (Xinhua) The 2022 Qatar World Cup was in full swing, but the Russian media released a heavy message-the Russian Football Association will discuss the issue of “switching to the Asian Football Association” at the next executive committee meeting. Seeing this, Xiaoxin was a little curious, a little nervous, and a little panic at the same time……
Russian media quoted Alexander Dyukov, chairman of the Russian Football Association, as saying, “we will consider this issue at the executive committee. I am not sure whether we can make a decision, the current situation needs to be discussed. It is very important for us to participate in the official competition.”
Fifa and Uefa issued a joint statement at the end of February this year, suspending the participation of Russian clubs and national teams in all competitions of Fifa and Uefa. Therefore, they missed the FIFA World Cup qualification with Poland in March this year and missed the 2022 Qatar World Cup.
In this case, the Russian football association without competition is seeking the opportunity to join the Asian Football Association. If this news is finally transformed from “discussion” to reality, it will have a profound impact on the pattern of Football Asia, and at the same time, it will have a profound impact on Xiao Xin, who is a fan, mentality and mood may also affect the boss……
As we all know, the World Cup jointly organized by the three countries of North America in 2026 will be expanded to 48 teams for the first time. According to the arrangement of FIFA, Asia will have 8.5 places to participate, nearly double the current 4.5 seats.
In other words, there will be at least eight Asian teams participating in the next World Cup, and the increased number of places in the World Cup will undoubtedly make the national football team see the hope of qualifying. When Xiaoxin was very young, he vaguely remembered that the strong national football team at that time was always only one step away from promotion. By now, there are 4.5 places in Asia, Japan, South Korea, these strong teams in Australia almost took tickets. The strength is not as good as that of the national football team, and even the 0.5 quota cannot be obtained.
According to the latest Asian ranking, the national football team ranks 11th. Although there is still a certain gap between the top eight, the ticket for the US-Canada-Mexico World Cup can somehow have a fight. In addition to the abundant preparation time, the national football team still has great hope.
When Xiao Xin imagined that the national football team could kill the world like Japan and Saudi Arabia four years later, the news from the Russian media immediately helped Xiao Xin refresh himself in the sleepy working environment in the afternoon. After checking, the Russian team currently ranks 33rd in the world in FIFA. If they succeed in joining FIFA, emmmm…… Although the eight characters of joining the Asian Football Association have not been omitted (the institutions such as the Asian Football Association and the International Football Association have to agree), the ban is still unclear for the time being, but Xiao Xin still can’t sleep!
This familiar plot was actually performed in 2005. In that year, Australia proposed to leave the Oceania Football Association and join the Asian Football Association. In June of the same year, FIFA agreed to the request of the Australian Football Association. Therefore, since 2006, Australia has officially become a member of the Asian Football Association.
Since joining the FIFA, Australia has become a frequent visitor to the World Cup, and the challenges facing the national football team are getting bigger and bigger. To what extent? Anyway, after the Korea-Japan World Cup in 2002, we never stepped on the stage of the World Cup again.
To be sure, if Russia’s idea of joining the Asian Football Association is put into practice, it will undoubtedly further change the current pattern of Football Asia. It is not good news for Xiao Xin’s national football team who has been supporting with tears. But instead of always putting their hopes on others, it is better to play the league firmly, do a good job in youth training, and further clean up the “moths” in the football environment “. Let’s say a thousand words-
to enter the World Cup, you have to rely on yourself! (Finished)
