In the cold and windy month of December, an exciting news came out from Beijing Youth Daily: the national soccer team will embark on a journey on the 17th, complete the assembly in Shanghai, and then fly over thousands of mountains to the faraway United Arab Emirates to start intensive training.
It is reported that China's soccer team will hold a rallying ceremony in Shanghai on the 17th, immediately after the transfer to Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, to carry out a game of hard training, for the next year on January 12 to start the Asian Cup tournament to build up strength.
It is worth noting that Wu Shaochong, our only player who has stayed in the country, will be absent from the national team's preparatory activities as the Youth United Team has a tournament on December 24th. Even so, he will only be able to join the national team after the 25th at the latest to travel to the UAE.
From January 12 to February 10, 2024, the 18th Qatar Asian Cup will be staged with passion. The national soccer team will be in Group A with hosts Qatar, Tajikistan and Lebanon, and will have a fierce competition.
