By virtue of winning the Hong Kong team in the final round of the East Asia Cup, the Chinese team (the national football selection team) accumulated 2.07 international ranking points in this tournament.

But unfortunately, the Chinese team is still 0.54 points behind the Uzbekistan team, which is temporarily ranked 10th in Asia, thus temporarily ranking 11th in Asia.

Whether the Chinese team's ranking will fall further or whether it can maintain its position as the second-tier team in the Asian Cup, the record of other relevant teams in Asia during the international competition period in September this year will play a decisive role.

  According to FIFA's scoring rules, the Chinese team (the national football selection team) can score 2.81 points after beating Hong Kong, China 1-0.

Prior to this, the Chinese team lost to South Korea 0-3 in the first round of the East Asia Cup, and was deducted 2.99 points.

The second round draw with Japan scored 2.25 points.

Therefore, on a comprehensive basis, the Chinese team has accumulated 2.07 points in this competition, with a total score of 1306.09 points, which is a slight increase from the previous international ranking points announced on June 23 this year.

However, it is a pity that the Chinese team still ranks 78th in the world and 11th in Asia, only 0.54 points away from Uzbekistan, which ranks 77th in the world and 10th in Asia.

  According to the plan, FIFA will announce the latest international ranking of the member association men's football team (men's national team) on August 26, which means that the Chinese team will continue to rank 78th in the world and 11th in Asia.

Judging from the current situation, it is difficult for the Asian teams that are temporarily behind the Chinese team to catch up with the Chinese team.

For example, the Chinese team currently leads the Bahrain team, which ranks 12th in Asia and 85th in the world, by as much as 16.84 points.

Therefore, even if the Bahrain team wins the international match day cycle in September this year, it will be difficult to catch up with the Chinese team.

  It is reported that using the international match day cycle in September, most teams in Asian football will arrange warm-ups and strive to improve their international rankings, so as to obtain more favorable conditions for the Asian Cup next year.

For example, the Thai Football Association will host the King's Cup in late September this year, inviting teams from Southeast Asia or South Asia to participate, and Bahrain is also invited to participate.

  The Jordanian Football Association plans to host the four-nation tournament in September, inviting neighboring Iraq, Syria and Oman to participate.

Among them, Iraq ranks 8th in Asia, Oman ranks 9th in Asia, and Jordan and Syria are ranked 13th and 14th in Asia after China.

Therefore, this event may determine whether the Chinese team's ranking in Asia is likely to fall further.
