China will face Australia in the third Asian qualifying round for the 2026 FIFA World Cup in North and Central America (USA-copyright-Mexico) at Adelaide Oval in Adelaide, Australia, on the 10th.

Interesting news came ahead of the match. According to Sohu, the Chinese team arrived in Sydney after an 11-hour flight for the match. It then waited a while to travel to Adelaide, where the stadium is located.

At this point, a Chinese man mistook the Chinese national team for a student. He asked the team, "Which school are you from? What games are you here for?" To which one player replied, "We are the national team and we are here to play the World Cup qualifiers."

"The Chinese national team is not well known in Sydney. This is the reality," Chinese journalist Doolyen lamented. "It is actually true. The national team's influence on the international stage should still improve," the media reported.

"This little episode even alerted us. As a national team player, not only does it play on the field, but also its words and actions represent China's image," he continued. "We have to admit that the team has not made any effort in the past few years, but the results are always far from enough."

Meanwhile, the Chinese national team is in a bad mood ahead of the upcoming match. China lost consecutive games in the first and second qualifying rounds for the North-China World Cup that took place in September. In particular, the team met Japan in the first round and suffered a crushing defeat of 0-7. In the second match against Saudi Arabia, the team lost 1-2 despite numerical superiority.

According to Japan's Soccer Digest, Chinese players were in a big shock after the match against Japan. The reporters tried to interview in the mixed zone, but most of the players left without saying anything.

"No one can accept losing 0-7. Our top priority right now is to regain confidence and physical condition to play the next match. It hurt the hearts of fans who came to see the away match. Such a match makes them lose confidence."
