FIFA may set up a "World Cup wild card"! Is there enough attention paid to Chinese football?
Over the past few years, FIFA has been making great efforts for the cause of football in China. For example, to expand the scale of the World Cup, from the outside, for a backward country like Africa, it is the Asians who benefit the most. At the beginning, FIFA felt that although the Chinese team in Asia was relatively weak, it could at least compete with Japan, South Korea, Saudi Arabia, and Australia. If the qualification for the Asian region is increased to 8Top 5, then wouldn't China be able to win one? But who knows, this time the World Cup gave them a big surprise, they were kept clean by three goals, and finally did not even enter a group.
As things stand, even if the Asian region is expanded to 10 or 20 teams, there is no guarantee that they will be able to qualify. So, with one"Wild card", you can let the Chinese players participate in the competition, right? Of course, FIFA is not only concerned with Chinese football, but also on the Chinese market and the hundreds of millions of Chinese football fans, which are the source of FIFA's development.
