Focus on sports information and pay attention to the situation of the national football team.

The European Championship is in full swing, and while fans are enjoying the high-level game, the dust has settled on the Asian World Cup qualifiers.

According to the latest FIFA world rankings, the Chinese men's football team is ranked 88th, ranking 13th in Asia, and 6th from the bottom among the 18 teams that have entered the top 18.

According to the regulations, the Asian region will be divided into six brackets, each bracket includes three national teams, to compete in the next stage of the competition, and the draw will be held on June 27 for the top 18 of the Asian zone of the World Preliminary Championship.

Let's take a look at the specific brackets of each team in the round of 18 as follows (the world rankings are in parentheses):

Pot 1: 1 - Japan (17), 2 - Iran (20), 3 - South Korea (22);

Pot 2: 4 - Australia (23), 5 - Qatar (35), 6 - Iraq (55)

；

Pot 3: 7 - Saudi Arabia (56), 8 - Uzbekistan (62), 9 - Jordan (68)

；

Pot 4: 10-UAE (69), 11-Oman (76), 12-Bahrain (81);

Pot 5: 13 - China (88), 15 - Palestine (95), 17 - Kyrgyzstan (101);

Pot 6: 19 - North Korea (110), 23 - Indonesia (134), 25 - Kuwait (137).

The Chinese men's football team relied on indirect assists from the Singapore team in the round of 36 and luckily advanced to the round of 18.

In the latest world rankings, the Chinese men's football team ranks 88th, ranking 13th in Asia. Considering that the 2026 World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico will be expanded to 48 teams, Asia has a total of 8.5 places.

Therefore, many fans expect the men's football team to take advantage of the opportunity to storm the World Cup with more places.

However, the actual situation is not optimistic, there are a total of 8.5 places in Asia, so at least the top 8 in the Asian ranking is more promising, and the Chinese men's football team is far from the 13th ranking.

According to the current ranking, there are only 5 teams behind the Chinese men's football team, so the 12 teams in front of them, no matter who they face, are difficult to break through.

Some netizens directly ridiculed:

"The national football team booked the death group in advance~"

"Who can draw the Chinese Football Gift Package, it's worth looking forward to~"

According to the group draw rules for the round of 18, the six teams will play a double round-robin home and away for a total of 10 rounds, with the top two teams in the group directly advancing to the US-Canada-Mexico World Cup, and the third and fourth teams in the group (a total of 6 teams) will enter the next round of qualifiers to determine the remaining 2.5 places.

The round of 18 will be contested from September this year until June next year.
