Selection timetable for China players

China football has a long history, and the timetable for China players to be selected into the national team is also worthy of attention. Looking back at history, we can see the path and changes in the selection of China players into the national team.

At the beginning of the 20th century, football began to rise in China. The first China player to enter the national team was in 1951. At that time, the China team had few competitions to test their strength, and many players were selected through personal recognition. Although they have not gone through strict selection and training, they have set an example for China football.

In the 1970s, China football began to hire foreign coaches, and the selection standards and system for the national team gradually improved. From the 1970s to the 1980s, the number of China players selected for the national team began to increase, and they participated in a series of Asian and international competitions. Some China players, such as Ma Hong, Li Jianbin and Li Zheng, have become representatives of China football and have made their mark in international competitions.

Entering the 21st century, China football is facing new challenges. China Football Association has increased its support and attention for the development of grassroots football and cultivated more outstanding young players. After 2000, the average age of China players selected for the national team has decreased. Not only that, China football has begun to vigorously introduce foreign players to improve the level of competition in professional leagues. This makes it more difficult for China players to be selected for the national team, but it also improves the overall level of China players.

In recent years, China football has developed rapidly, and its performance and strength have also improved significantly. China Football Association has promoted a series of reform measures, strengthened club management, improved the level of coaches, and cultivated more outstanding young players. The threshold for China players to be selected for the national team has gradually increased, but it also indicates that China football is moving to a higher level.

The change in the selection schedule of China players reflects the development process of China football. From the earliest personal recognition to the perfect selection standards and training system, China football is gradually catching up with the international level. We look forward to the continuous improvement of the selection schedule for China players and a more brilliant future for China football.
