Chinese soccer is on the edge of the cliff.

The Chinese national soccer team A, led by head coach Branko Ivankovic, remains at the bottom of Group C in the third Asian qualifying round for the 2026 North-China World Cup. In the previous eight games, he recorded only two wins and six losses (6 points, -13 points). As a result, China failed to win the direct ticket to the World Cup finals, which is given to the first and second place in the group.

The opportunity is not over. There are 8.5 tickets allocated to Asia at the North-China World Cup. Six teams ranked first and second in each of the third qualifying round will secure tickets to the World Cup finals. The six teams that finished third and fourth in the group will be divided into two groups to play the fourth qualifying round, and the first team in each group will win the ticket to the finals. In the fourth qualifying round, the second-place teams in each group will face each other to decide which team will play in the intercontinental playoffs.




China will decide its fate in the 9th-10th round in June. The situation is not easy. It will have a series of matches with fourth-place Indonesia (Original) and fifth-place Bahrain (home). Indonesia and Bahrain are also desperate to win as they seek to advance to the fourth qualifying round.

Chinese media Sohu reported 'June 2025, the preliminary war is once again in the spotlight. China will clash with Indonesia, which has a ransom of 34.9 million euros. This is not just a difficult game. It is also a stern test of Chinese soccer skills. Indonesia has been improving in recent years. It is receiving great attention because it has many talented players. China is also actively preparing and trying to show its best skills. The naturalization process is continuing. They will bring more change and possibilities to China. But China is facing some difficulties this time. There is a possibility that main striker Urey will not be able to play due to injury. The players are aware of the responsibility. The outcome of the game is difficult to predict. However, the results of the two teams directly affect the rankings,' the report said.

Meanwhile, according to SinaCom, Marton Paz, Indonesia's main goalkeeper and naturalized player, cannot play against China due to cumulative warnings. Pas is a key resource that has played all the games in the third qualifying round for this World Cup. In addition, recently naturalized Emile Audero may not be able to compete in the Chinese war. Audero is currently a member of como and plays for palermo on loan. Palermo, currently seventh in Serie B, is likely to advance to the promotion playoff qualifying round (5th to 8th). The PO schedule is only finished on June 1st.
