China has selected a large number of promising resources for the future.
On the 30th, the Chinese Football Association (CFA) released a list of 26 people to participate in the 2025 East Asian Football Federation (EAFF) E-1 Championship (East Asian Cup) on its official website. Coach Branko Ivankovic will be replaced and Dejan Djurjevic, the head coach of the U-20 national team, will lead China as the interim head coach.
All of China's proud prospects were listed. Prospects born in 2006 are highly anticipated, starting with Wang Wang Dong, China's Yang Min-hyuk, to Kwai Ji-won and Ryu Cheong-yu.
First of all, Wang is a highly anticipated prospect in China. It boasts the highest ransom in Chinese history at the age of 18. Currently, it has the highest ransom among Chinese players excluding naturalized players. Asia has the fourth highest value among those born in 2006. From the 2025 season, the talent has been properly released. He is the top scorer in the league among Chinese players with nine goals in 15 league games. It is evaluated that it will be the next generation of thunder.
Born in February 2006, Kwai Ji-won is a huge prospect who is considered the future of Chinese soccer along with Wang Yu-dong. Kwai Jiwon, who joined Shanghai Hai Gang in 2021, showed rapid growth. An 18-year-old prospect is already being called up to the Chinese U-22 national team. Since his debut in Shanghai Hai River in April, he has been growing as he continues to play. He is considered a player who will lead China's attack.

Finally, Ryu Cheong-wi is also a striker. He is an elite player who took the national team by age in China. He is expanding his position by making his debut this season as a promising player who has been raised with great effort in Shanghai Shenhua. His growth has been so good that he scored three consecutive goals in May. China's U-19 national team scored multiple goals when it overwhelmed the Korean U-19 national team last year.
China already has high expectations that the three players' skills will work against the best teams in Asia. China's Huocom said 'Korea will have a large number of stars playing in the top five European leagues, including Son Heung-min and Hwang Hee-chan, and this game will be played with a second-tier team focused on the domestic league in the K-League. On the other hand, the Chinese national team expressed confidence, saying, 'There is no reason to shrink psychologically as Wang Yu-dong and Liu Cheng-yu, who have scored goals together against South Korea at the U-20 Asian Cup, are holding out.

Subsequently, Sohu said 'The East Asian Cup, which will be held in July, is expected to be a debut stage for Kwai Ji-won. In the tournament, which will take on Korea, Japan, and Hong Kong, the Chinese national team will showcase a young combination of Kwai Ji-won and Wang Yudong for the first time. "Kwai Ji-won's flexible de-pressure, Wang Yu-dong's strong mid-range shot, and Liu Chen-yu's penetration into the door are weapons that can sufficiently break down the Asian powerhouse's defense line," he said, predicting that China can do well at the East Asian Cup.
China, which was eliminated from the 2026 North Korea-China World Cup, chose to change generations quickly. It seems that he decided to use the three players well in the East Asian Cup because he has watched Wang Wang-dong, Kwai Ji-won, and Ryu Cheong-wi since he was a child.
