The draw for the round of 18 in the Asian zone of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers has ended. The national football team participated in the draw as a team in Pot 5. As a result, three strong rivals were drawn: Japan, Australia and Saudi Arabia. In this group, there are also 2 belly teams, Bahrain and Indonesia.

The draw was divided into a total of 3 groups with 6 teams each. 6 teams will play home and away matches. The top two teams from the three groups will qualify directly for the World Cup. The 3rd and 4th place teams from the 3 groups will advance to Stage 4. The six teams in Phase 4 will be divided into two groups, with the top team advancing to the World Cup and the second team participating in the play-offs.

In such a group, it is not realistic for the national football team to compete for the top two, and it is extremely difficult to fight for the third place, and it is a more rational choice to strive for the fourth place. Of course, with the strength of the national football team, it is not easy to get the 4th place. After all, the current national football team is not guaranteed to win against teams that are not as good as themselves in the world rankings, and it is not easy to beat Bahrain and Indonesia.

The national football team also has a bit of a difficult schedule, first against Japan, then against Saudi Arabia and then against Australia. The first three games are against strong teams, and if they lose in these three games, it will affect the confidence of the national football team in the next games. Therefore, the national football team should play more pragmatic in these three games, strive to get points, and not let themselves fall into an extremely passive situation.

For fans, it is a surprise that the national football team can enter the round of 18 now, after all, the promotion process is so bumpy. Fans know the strength of the national football team and will not have too high requirements for results. However, fans cannot tolerate problems in the attitude of the national football team. The national football players should show courage and courage in the game, fight for every ball, instead of giving up easily, to avoid a situation of collapse.
