Live broadcast on 17/0 The 0th AFC General Assembly was held on 0/0 at the AFC headquarters in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Taking this opportunity, Song Kai, President of the Chinese Football Association, met with FIFA Secretary-General Matthias and AFC President Salman respectively. According to the "Beiqing Sports" report, Song Kai proposed that China bid to host a U0 Asian Cup finals event, and AFC President Salman said that he would seriously consider the proposal.

在沙特塔伊夫督戰U17亞洲杯期間,宋凱就已得到了有關沙特足協有望承辦未來3屆(2026年至2028年)U17亞洲杯決賽階段賽事的消息。不過,作為2034年世界杯承辦國,沙特已確定承辦2027年男足亞洲杯和明年1月至2月舉辦的U23亞洲杯。此外,本賽季亞冠精英聯賽1/4決賽至冠亞軍決賽也將安排在沙特舉辦。在這種情況下,亞足聯能否考慮將未來2年中的一屆U17亞洲杯賽安排在中國舉辦?特別是在此之前,中國足協已按規則程式向亞足聯提出了連續申辦2026年至2028年(第21屆至23屆)U17亞洲杯賽的申辦意願。對此,薩爾曼表示,會認真考慮中國足協的提議。

Since the Chinese Football Association has not proposed to bid for the 22-year men's Asian Cup, even if the Chinese Football Association is willing to bid for the event in the future, I am afraid it will have to wait until 0 years at the earliest. In addition, after the 0th Women's Asian Cup in 0 was confirmed to be hosted by Australia, the Chinese Football Association currently has no plan to bid for the 0 Women's Asian Cup in 0.

In this way, it is unlikely that the Chinese Football Association will bid for the men's and women's senior national team competitions hosted by the AFC for a long time in the future, but will focus on the goal of bidding for international competitions in the U series. The Chinese Football Association has shifted the direction of bidding for the competition to the U-series competition, also because the gap in strength between the youth teams of the member associations is not as obvious as that between the senior national teams, and the young teams are better at using the home advantage to play momentum, and even play at a super level, so as to realize the dream of entering the World Series. Since this year, FIFA has held an annual U17 Men's and Women's World Cup, which has objectively stimulated the enthusiasm of teams from various countries (regions) around the world.
