This is due to the impact of the new coronavirus. The Asian Cup was originally scheduled to be held in China in June 2023, and the AFC made a provisional request to the Chinese organizers that all stadiums must be open to all fans during the Asian Cup in June 2023, but China was unable to do so due to epidemic prevention and control factors, and had to cancel the Asian Cup.
Although China has invested in the construction of the stadium but temporary withdrawal is really helpless, 2022 China made the decision to cancel the Asian Cup, China's epidemic situation is still not optimistic, out of the people's physical health of the responsibility and considerations of the Chinese Football Association or directly rejected the request of the AFC.
It is true that there are big differences between Chinese and Western ideas, and the AFC believes that it is difficult for athletes traveling to China to accept the closed tournament system, and that the lack of fans will affect the players' performance and the excitement of the tournament. The Chinese Football Association (CFA) puts the people of the country first, but the AFC is more concerned about the excitement of the tournament, thus directly depriving China of the right to host the Asian Cup in 2023 without any room for negotiation.
On October 17, 2022, Beijing time, the AFC (AFC) officially announced that the Qatar Football Association (QFA) had won the right to host the 2023 Asian Cup soccer tournament. After China canceled the Asian Cup the Chinese men's football team lost the host this home field advantage, and now the Chinese men's football team is in a period of turmoil, people are not optimistic about their prospects in the Asian Cup.
