Recently, Xing Lida, a big V with 6.28 million fans, posted a picture on social media, in which he wrote: FIFA plans to add a special invitation quota in the World Cup, which will be awarded to countries that have a significant impact on the global football community and can make great contributions to the popularization and promotion of football around the world.
At the same time, this special invitation to the World Cup should meet the following conditions:
1. The population size is several hundred million;
2. Economically developed and influential in the world;
3. It has great influence all over the world;
4. There is great potential for the development of football in the future.
For this reason, many Chinese fans believe that this is the "radish pit" reserved by FIFA for the Chinese team to participate in the World Cup. China has a population of more than one billion, a developed economy and world influence, and the strength of the Chinese team is not good, and the development potential of football level is huge.
In this regard, Zhu Yi, the Chinese administrator of the German transfer market website, refuted the rumors online. "You see, even though it's all abstracted to this point, there are really a lot of people who will believe this kind of news," he said. The purpose is to have fun, you see the rumors last time that Infantino landed in Seoul to supervise the Sino-Korean war to ensure that China qualified, nothing at all. ”
The "Infantino airborne landing in Seoul" incident mentioned by Zhu Yi was the last game of the national football round of 36, when the promotion situation of the national football team was in jeopardy, and some fans spread rumors that FIFA boss Infantino would be parachuted into South Korea to supervise the Sino-Korean battle to ensure that the Chinese team qualified smoothly.
In fact, Infantino did not go to South Korea at all, and China also lost 0-1 away to South Korea. The reason why the Chinese team advanced to the round of 18 was because Singapore only lost 1-4 to the Thai team away from home, and the national football team finally eliminated the Thai team by virtue of the advantage of winning and losing, and successfully advanced to the round of 18.
In the draw for the round of 18, the Chinese team was placed in Group C with Japan, Australia, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Indonesia. This is undoubtedly a group of death, and the national football team's hopes of qualifying for the World Cup are becoming more and more slim. At this time, rumors began to be made that FIFA had a special invitation to the World Cup, which was actually an amateur rumor.
The 2026 World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico, with a total of 48 teams participating, is a long time ago. Among them, the AFC has 8 seats and 1 play-off place; The AFC has 9 places and 1 play-off place; 6 CONMEBOL places, 1 play-off place; 1 quota place for Oceania Football Confederation, 1 play-off place; UEFA 16 seats; CONCACAF has 3 quota places, plus 3 hosts (USA, Canada and Mexico) and 2 play-off places.
