FIFA officials: China’s low level of team – Office of the World Cup had to wait for 20 years
Yesterday, FIFA Secretary-General Walker came to China to attend the China Central Television and the 2010 and 2014 FIFA World Cup broadcast rights for the signing ceremony.
After the ceremony, the FIFA’s housekeeper also accepted reporter’s interview, said that China should first raise the level of football, and then consider the bid to host the soccer World Cup.
China’s bid for World Cup 2026 or 2030, the most appropriate
FW: The purpose of your trip to the Chinese audience to promote South Africa’s World Cup, but the Chinese fans are more concerned about is when will China host the World Cup?
Walker: 2026 or 2030 would be more appropriate time.
FW: Why is it two years?
Walker: Because the 2018 and 2022 of the host countries have been identified to be deferred to 2026 in. But now there is a situation in 2022 World Cup bid countries in Asia, if ultimately successful bid to host the Asian countries, China will have to wait until 2030.
FW: In the 2018 World Cup host country to identify the former, China has spread the news to join the bid, but ultimately did not bid, one important reason is that low level of Chinese football. Do you think this is an obstacle to China’s bid to host the World Cup do?
Walker: To be honest, I do not suggest that the Chinese bid to host the 2018 World Cup. I very much agree with the Chinese people’s concerns, it is such a low level of the Chinese national team is not suitable for hosting the World Cup.
The World Cup is the world’s biggest sporting events in the host country how much money was invested to build the number of venues and infrastructure, ah, but if the team just played a few games on the out, and how accountable to the people?
So, if it fails to overcome a feeling the first round, then he should not bid to host the World Cup is better, and so raise the level of re-bid to host the soccer too late.
Improve China’s standard of football in 20 years should be enough
FW: Do you think Chinese football was how many years will be enough to bid for the World Cup level?
Walker: I think in 2026 or 2030 and was supposed to be almost the same. 20 years, enough to train a large number of high-level player.
FW: Do you think Chinese football is urgently needed to resolve that?
Walker: I think the biggest problem is that not enough people playing, more than 1.3 billion people, only 17,000 registered players, this is impossible to raise the level.
But the gratifying is that China is now the pain from top to bottom are determined to raise the level of football, the Chinese people to do everything so quickly, I believe that football can be, 20 years should be enough.
FW: Chinese football can still match-fixing, gambling problems, which is now the biggest football news, have you heard this news do, these negative news will affect China’s bid to host the World Cup?
Walker: This morning, the Chinese Football Association who also told me some case, they assured me that would work against gambling as a top priority.
FIFA will fully support the Chinese Football Association and the relevant departments to combat illegal gambling, so long as to be a good solution, it would not affect the future of the bid.
