The China national football team (simplified Chinese: 中国国家足球队; traditional Chinese: 中國國家足球隊; pinyin: Zhōngguó guójiā zúqiú duì), recognised as China PR by FIFA, represents China in men's international association football and is governed by the Chinese Football Association (CFA).

China won the EAFF East Asian Cup in 2005 and 2010, was runner-up at the AFC Asian Cup in 1984 and 2004, and made its sole FIFA World Cup appearance in 2002, losing all matches without scoring a goal.

History

[edit]

As Republic of China (1913–1949)

[edit]
Chinese Olympic football team in Berlin, 1936

China's first-ever international representative match was arranged by Elwood Brown, president of the Philippine Athletic Association, who proposed the creation of the Far Eastern Championship Games, a multi-sport event considered to be a precursor to the Asian Games.[2] He invited China (Republic of China) to participate in the inaugural 1913 Far Eastern Championship Games held in the Philippines, which included association football within the schedule. To represent them, it was decided that the winner of the football at the Chinese National Games in 1910 should have the honour to represent the country, where it was won by South China Football Club.[3] The club's founder and coach Mok Hing (Chinese: 莫慶) would become China's first coach and on 4 February 1913 in a one-off tournament game held in the Manila he led China to a 2–1 defeat against the Philippines national football team. With the team captain, Tong Fuk Cheung (Chinese: 唐福祥) scoring the only goal and the first international goal for China.[4]

The political unrest of the Xinhai Revolution that mired China's participation in the first tournament, especially in renaming the team as Republic of China national football team, did not stop Shanghai being awarded the 1915 Far Eastern Championship Games. Once again South China Football Club, now known as South China Athletic Association won the right to represent the nation. This time in a two legged play-off against the Philippines, China won the first game 1–0 and then drew the second 0–0 to win their first ever tournament.[5] With the games being the first and only regional football tournament for national teams outside Britain, China looked to establish themselves as a regional powerhouse by winning a total of nine championships.[6]

The Chinese Football Association was founded in 1924 and then was first affiliated with FIFA in 1931.[7] With these foundations in place China looked to establish themselves within the international arena and along with Japan were the first Asian sides to participate in the Football at the Summer Olympics when they competed within the 1936 Summer Olympics held in Germany. At the tournament China were knocked out within their first game at the round of 16 when they were beaten by Great Britain Olympic football team 2–0 on 6 August 1936.[8]

On 7 July 1937 the Second Sino-Japanese War officially erupted, which saw the relations between China and Japan completely eroded especially once it was announced that Japan would hold the 1938 Far Eastern Championship Games.[9] The tournament would be officially cancelled while Japan held their own tournament called the 2600th Anniversary Celebrations of the Japanese Empire, which included the Japanese puppet states Manchukuo and the collaborationist National Reorganised Government of China based in occupied Nanjing. But none of the top Chinese players competed in the Japanese Empire anniversary games.[10] None of the games during the Second Sino-Japanese War are officially recognized and once the war ended on 9 September 1945 China looked to the Olympics once again for international recognition. On 2 August 1948 China competed in the Football at the 1948 Summer Olympics where they were once again knocked out in the last sixteen, this time by Turkey national football team in a 4–0 defeat.[11] When the players returned they found the country in the midst of the Chinese Civil War. When it ended, the team had been split into two, one called the People's Republic of China national football team and the other called Republic of China national football team (later renamed Chinese Taipei national football team).[12]

Early People's Republic (1950–1979)

[edit]

The newly instated People's Republic of China reformed CFA before having FIFA acknowledge their 1931 membership on 14 June 1952.[13] Finland, who were one of the first nations to hold diplomatic relations with China's new government, invited the country to take part in the 1952 Summer Olympics. Li Fenglou would become the country's first permanent manager to lead them in the tournament, however the Chinese delegation was delayed and they missed the entire competition, nevertheless the Finland national football team would still greet Li and the Chinese team with a friendly game on 4 August 1952 making it People's Republic of China's official first game, which ended in a 4–0 defeat.[14][15] In preparation for entering their first FIFA competition, China sent a young squad to train in Hungary in 1954.[16] However, when they entered the 1958 FIFA World Cup qualification process China were knocked out by Indonesia.[17]

On 7 June 1958, China stopped participating within any FIFA recognised football events when FIFA officially started to recognise the Republic of China as a different country.[13] This sparked a diplomatic argument that had already seen China withdraw from the 1956 Summer Olympics for the same reasons.[18] For years the People's Republic of China would only play in friendlies with nations who recognized them as the sole heir to the China name.[17] On 25 October 1971 the United Nations would recognise the People's Republic country as the sole heir to the China name in their General Assembly Resolution 2758 act.[19][20][21] Due to this hearing in 1973, the Nationalist Chinese team, which had been using the name "Republic of China", would stop using that name and would eventually rename themselves as "Chinese Taipei" in 1980.[22] These acts would see China rejoin the international sporting community, first by becoming a member of the Asian Football Confederation in 1974 and by rejoining FIFA again in 1979.[23][24]

Asian underdogs (1980–2008)

[edit]

The 1974 Asian Games reintroduced the team back into international football while the 1976 AFC Asian Cup saw them came third.[25]

In 1980, China participated in the 1982 FIFA World Cup qualifiers for a berth in the 1982 World Cup, but they lost a play-off game against New Zealand.[26] During the 1986 FIFA World Cup qualifiers for the 1986 World Cup, China faced Hong Kong at home in the final match of the first qualifying round on 19 May 1985 where China only needed a draw to advance. However, Hong Kong produced a 2–1 upset win which resulted in riots inside and outside the stadium in Beijing.[27] During the 1990 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, China again reached the final round. They just missed out on qualifying as they conceded two goals in the final three minutes against Qatar in their final group match.[28] During the 1994 FIFA World Cup qualifiers – when they were led by their first-ever foreign manager, Klaus Schlapner – China failed to reach the final round of qualifying, coming second behind Iraq.[29]

In 1987, the first Chinese footballers moved abroad when future national team player Xie Yuxin joined FC Zwolle (Netherlands) and ex-national teamer Gu Guangming joined SV Darmstadt 98 (Germany). In 1988, national team captain Jia Xiuquan and striker Liu Haiguang both joined FK Partizan (Yugoslavia).[30][31]

After failing to reach the 1998 FIFA World Cup, China appointed Serbian manager Bora Milutinović as coach of the national team, and China saw its fortune increased. The country managed to take fourth-place finish in the 2000 AFC Asian Cup where the Chinese side performed well, and only fell to heavyweights Japan and South Korea by one goal margin.[32] The good performance in Lebanon boosted the confidence of Chinese side, and in 2002 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, China lost only one and drew only one, winning all the remaining games, most notably an important 1–0 win over Oman, to finally reach the 2002 FIFA World Cup, its first and only World Cup up to date.[33] In the 2002 World Cup, China was eliminated after three matches without gaining a single point nor even scoring a goal during their participation in the tournament.[34]

China hosted the 2004 AFC Asian Cup, ultimately fell 1–3 to Japan in a final match. The match's outcome sparked anger among Chinese supporters, who rioted in response to bad refereeing.[35] There were an estimated 250 million viewers for the match, the largest single-event sports audience in the country's history at that time.[36]

After winning the 2005 East Asian Football Championship following a 2–0 win against North Korea,[37] they started qualification for the 2007 AFC Asian Cup. During this time, the team became the subject of immense criticism and national embarrassment in the media when they had managed to score only one goal, Shao Jiayi's penalty kick during injury time, against Singapore at home and only managed a draw with Singapore in the away game. During preparations for the 2007 AFC Asian Cup, the team spent the weeks leading up to the tournament on a tour of the United States. While the 4–1 loss to the United States was unexpected,[38] a 1–0 loss to Major League Soccer side Real Salt Lake which finished bottom of the league in the 2007 season caused serious concern.[39][40]

During the 2007 AFC Asian Cup, the team played three group matches, winning against Malaysia, drawing with Iran after leading 2–1, and losing 3–0 to Uzbekistan. After high expectations, China's performance at the tournament drew criticism online which condemned the team's members and even the association. Zhu was later replaced as manager by Vladimir Petrović after these performances.[41] Some commented that China's reliance on foreign managers for the past decade had been an indicator of its poor domestic manager development.[42]

In June 2008, China failed to qualify for the 2010 FIFA World Cup, losing against Qatar and Iraq at home. After the 2008 Summer Olympics, Petrović was sacked as the manager and Yin Tiesheng was announced as the team's caretaker.

Stagnation (2009–present)

[edit]

In April 2009, China appointed Gao Hongbo as the new manager, replacing Yin Tiesheng. His arrival saw China opt for a new strategy, turning towards ground passing tactics and adopting the 4–2–3–1 formation. It was noted that Chinese footballers had relied too heavily on the long ball tactic for almost a decade. Wei Di, the chief of the Chinese Football Association, stressed that, "Anytime, no matter win or loss, they must show their team spirit and courage. I hope, after one year's effort, the national team can give the public a new image."[43] Gao was knocked out of the 2011 AFC Asian Cup's group stage. His winning percentage (65%), the highest for a Chinese manager since Nian Weisi (67.86%), did not defer the Chinese Football Association from replacing him with José Antonio Camacho in August 2011, less than a month before the qualification process for the 2014 FIFA World Cup.

Appointment of José Antonio Camacho

[edit]

On 13 August 2011, José Antonio Camacho was appointed as the new manager of the team, signing a three-year deal for a reported annual salary of $8 million.[44] Wei Di, CFA chief, explained the decision as being part of a long-term plan to help the country catch up with rivals Japan and South Korea. He noted that, "Compared with their neighbours Japan and South Korea, Chinese football is lagging far behind, we need to work with a long-term view and start to catch up with a pragmatic approach. The citizens expects heavily for China to qualify for the 2014 FIFA World Cup held in Brazil. They are afraid that changing the coach at the last moment may cause bad effect to the team's qualifying prospect. I can totally understand that. But we do not have any time to waste."[45]

Yu Hongchen, the vice-president of the Chinese Football Administrative Centre, also stated, "The qualifying stage of 2014 World Cup is just a temporary task for him. Even if the task is failed, Camacho will not lose the job. When we started to find a new coach for the national team, we mainly focus on European countries such as Germany, the Netherlands and Spain. First of all, they have advanced football concepts, and secondly they have a productive youth training system, which we can learn from. We hope he can help us to find a suitable style."[45]

Camacho managed the team to an 8–0 lost against Brazil in a friendly match on 10 September 2012 which would go on record as China's biggest ever international defeat. This massive loss also succumbed China to their worst ever FIFA ranking (109th).[46]

Camacho then led China during their qualification process for the 2015 AFC Asian Cup whereby losing the first group match 2–1 to Saudi Arabia.[47] After a 5–1 lost against Thailand in a friendly match, Camacho was sacked a week later and with Fu Bo assigned as the caretaker. In light of continued struggles, in 2015, General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party Xi Jinping expressed the goal of having China's men's national team be the top team in Asia by 2030 and the following year China revealed its ambitious blueprint to be the best in the world by 2050.[48]

Alain Perrin and Gao Hongbo returns

[edit]

After Camacho, there was Alain Perrin, who finally led China to qualify for the 2015 AFC Asian Cup, which also included luck from the Thailand–Lebanon encounter, in which Thailand lost but salvaged an important goal by Adisak Kraisorn to help improve China's goal difference with the Lebanese.[49] Soon after that, Perrin led China into a series of friendlies, where some positive results against Macedonia, Kuwait, Paraguay and Thailand boosted some optimism.

In the 2015 AFC Asian Cup, Perrin's China was placed in a group with Saudi Arabia, Uzbekistan and North Korea. China emerged victoriously in all three games and qualified for the knockout stage for the first time since 2004.[50][51] The Chinese Dragons then lost 2–0 to Australia.[52]

Despite this, China's 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifiers immediately represented a huge problem for the Chinese side; they were held goalless by Hong Kong at home twice, and lost to Qatar. Perrin was sacked for the team's poor performance in the middle of the second round following another goalless draw with Hong Kong,[53] and former coach Gao Hongbo returned to the role on 3 February 2016. Hongbo faced the task of guiding China at the expense of North Korea which had a better second-place ranking than China. His first two matches saw wins against the Maldives and Qatar, and with North Korea slipping up against the Philippines. These results secured the team's passage to the 2019 AFC Asian Cup and also the final qualifying stage for the World Cup for the first time since 2002.

China continued their World Cup hunt but suffered a 3–2 defeat to South Korea[54] and a goalless draw to the then-highest ranked side in AFC at home, Iran.[55] However, China followed that with a home defeat to Syria and an away defeat to Uzbekistan. Gao Hongbo resigned following these results. His team had been winless in the first four matches of the final qualifying stage for the World Cup, including a home loss to Syria which was criticised by a number of fans.[56]

Marcello Lippi's tenure

[edit]

On 22 October 2016, Marcello Lippi was appointed manager of the team ahead of the remaining matches.[57] Under Lippi, China defeated South Korea for the first time in a FIFA-sanctioned tournament, amidst tensions over South Korea's deployment of THAAD.[58] However, China's away loss to Iran and a 2–2 draw to Syria meant China failed to qualify for the 2018 World Cup.[59]

Lippi led the side during the final stage of the 2019 AFC Asian Cup, where China won 2–1 against Kyrgyzstan and 3–0 against the Philippines, before losing 2–0 to group leaders South Korea.[60] China then beat Thailand 2–1 to earn a place in the quarter-finals, where they were eliminated 3–0 out by Iran; Lippi subsequently confirmed his departure from the team.[61]

Another Italian and former Ballon d'Or winner, Fabio Cannavaro was appointed as the new manager whilst maintaining his role at Guangzhou Evergrande but he stepped down after only two matches.[62]

Lacking options for a new coach, the CFA re-appointed Marcello Lippi.[63] To improve the team, China began a series of naturalization on foreign-based players, with Nico Yennaris (Li Ke), an English-born Cypriot,[64] and Tyias Browning, another English-born player, being naturalized.[65] Subsequently, Elkeson, a Brazilian player with no Chinese ancestry, was naturalized.[66] Despite the process of naturalization, the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification proved to be rockier than expected. The team could only beat the Maldives and Guam, before being held to a goalless draw with the Philippines and suffered a 2–1 loss to Syria, contributing to Lippi's resignation.[67]

Li Tie and Li Xiaopeng's era

[edit]

2002 FIFA World Cup ace Li Tie was appointed as China's head coach on 2 January 2020.[68] Trailing behind Syria by five points before Li took charge, China were still unable to reclaim their first place but nonetheless managed to win all of their remaining fixtures, including an important 2–0 win over the Philippines and notably a 3–1 win over Syria to guarantee them as the best second-placed team, thus reaching the third round.[69][70]

In the third round, China shared Group B with Asian powerhouses Japan, Australia and Saudi Arabia, alongside Oman and Vietnam. The Chinese started poorly with two losses to Australia and Japan in Doha due to the COVID-19 pandemic at home preventing the country from hosting.[71][72] After this poor start, China salvaged five points in the next four matches, including a hard-fought 3–2 win over Vietnam and two 1–1 draws to Oman and especially Australia, all occurring in Sharjah, the UAE.[73][74] However, despite these improvements, Li Tie was sacked on 2 December 2021 amidst heavy criticism.[75]

After Li Tie's resignation, his World Cup teammate Li Xiaopeng took the head coach position with immense pressure.[76] China's first game under Li Xiaopeng, however, was a 2–0 away defeat to Japan in Saitama, effectively ending China's hopes of finishing in the top two and could only rely on the play-offs.[77] Yet, on 1 February 2022, coinciding with the traditional Lunar New Year, the Chinese stumbled to a shock 3–1 loss to Vietnam in Hanoi, officially extending China's hunt for a second World Cup appearance to 24 years.[78] This defeat, the first in Chinese football history to Vietnam, triggered widespread anger and criticism amongst Chinese fans.[79]

The Yugoslav era

[edit]

After a poor performance in World Cup qualification, China took part in the 2022 EAFF E-1 Football Championship under interim manager Aleksandar Janković. Under the leadership of Janković, China finished with four points and finishing third after a 1–0 win over Hong Kong. For the first time in 12 years, China did not lose to Japan away.[80] Because of this result, Janković was named as the permanent coach of the China national team in 2023, with the aim to qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.[81]

On 1 January 2024, China suffered a 2–1 defeat to Hong Kong in an international friendly, marking their first loss to HK in 39 years.[82] Furthermore, for the first time, China failed to score in three consecutive matches at the AFC Asian Cup as they fell to third with only two points and were later eliminated. This result and poor performance of the side triggered outrage in China, and Aleksandar Janković would be dismissed on 31 January 2024.

On 25 February 2024, Branko Ivanković succeeded Janković as China's new coach.[83] Under his tenure, China only managed to reach the third round of World Cup qualification by the slimmest of margins, owing to China's superior head-to-head record against Thailand.[citation needed] In the first match of the third round, China suffered a heavy 7–0 defeat to Japan. Ivanković was sacked by the CFA on 27 June 2025 , after the team's elimination from the qualifiers, finishing fifth[84] with a goal difference of –13, the lowest in the round tied by Kuwait.[85]

After failing to qualify for the 2026 World Cup, Dejan Đurđević took charge as the caretaker manager of the national team. The team participated in the 2025 EAFF E-1 Football Championship, where they finished in third place after losing 3–0 to South Korea and 2–0 to Japan.[84][86]

Shao Jiayi era

[edit]

On 5 November 2025, Qingdao West Coast head coach Shao Jiayi was appointed as the new manager.[87]

Team image

[edit]
The national football team of China in 2011

The team is known as the "Dragon Team" (Chinese: 龙之队; pinyin: Lóng zhī duì),[88] "Team China" (Chinese: 中国队), the "National Team" (Chinese: 国家队) or "Guózú" (Chinese: 国足, short for Chinese: 国家足球队; pinyin: Guójiā Zúqiú Duì; lit. 'national football team').[89]

China's home kit is traditionally all-red with a white or yellow trim. Their away kit is traditionally an inverted version of the home kit, fully white with a red trim, sometimes is full yellow and red trim. During the 1996 AFC Asian Cup, China employed a third kit which was all blue with a white trim and was used against Saudi Arabia during the tournament.[90] The 2022–24 season marks the first time the team had a turquoise blue away kit, replace the white kit worn in previous seasons. The team has also started to use cooling vests in certain warmer climates.[91] After decades of having Adidas producing the team's kits, China's current kit has been produced and manufactured by Nike since 2015.

Rivalries

[edit]

Japan

[edit]

China's greatest arch-rival is Japan, this rivalry is fueled by longstanding tensions between the two countries, strained by geopolitical competition and Japan's 20th century invasion of China.[94] In the 21st century the results on the pitch have been overwhelmingly one-sided in Japan's favor. The rivalry was exemplified after their 3–1 defeat in the 2004 AFC Asian Cup Final on home soil.[95] The defeat led to a riot by Chinese fans at the Workers' Stadium, provoked by controversial officiating during the tournament and heightened anti-Japanese sentiment at the time.[95] China has not beaten Japan since March 1998.

South Korea

[edit]

Another rival is neighbour South Korea. China has played 27 matches against South Korea between 1978 and 2010 without winning a single match. The media coined the term "Koreaphobia" to describe this phenomenon, but China finally registered its first win against South Korea on 10 February 2010, winning 3–0 during the 2010 East Asian Football Championship and eventually going on to win the tournament. Traced further, China met South Korea (then known as Korea) for the first time in 1949 in a friendly in British Hong Kong, where China clinched the first and only win over Korea in 61 years.[96] There is also another political dimension behind the fuelling of this rivalry, mostly because of the long history of wars between the two states.[97][98] In over 39 official matches since they first played in 1978, China has only won twice.

Hong Kong

[edit]

A rivalry with Hong Kong has been created due to political tensions as well as issues during 2018 World Cup qualification. With Hong Kong fans booing the Chinese national anthem, which Hong Kong shares with China, the 2018 World Cup qualifier matches were very tense with both matches resulting in 0–0 draws.
