in 1994, the world cup in the united states rekindled asia's hopes. the chinese team showed strong competitiveness in this game and finally achieved good results in the group stage, but unfortunately missed the chance to advance. then, the 1998 world cup in france opened a new chapter again. however, facing the strong enemy iran, the fate of the chinese national football team was once again in trouble. even so, the chinese team still showed a tenacious fighting spirit and finally won the third place in the group. although it failed to advance, it also paved the way for the future of chinese football.

in 2002, korea and japan won the asian "ticket" again in the korea-japan world cup, which focused the world's attention on the asian football stage. the chinese team performed well in this round, finally won the first place in the group, and showed strong competitiveness in the finals, and finally qualified for the world cup finals.

in 2006, the chinese team once again embarked on the journey of the world cup, but their fate did not seem to improve. although they showed tenacious strength in the group stage and finally won the first place in the group, they met kuwait. in the final battle for the top 12, the chinese national football team encountered a huge challenge and finally lost the game regretfully.

in the 2010 and 2014 world cup qualifiers, the chinese team once again showed strong competitiveness, but ultimately failed to enter the top ten. in the 2018 world cup qualifiers, although there was no breakthrough, the chinese national football team performed well in the "challenge" of south korea, which gave fans a little psychological comfort. however, the 2022 world cup qualifiers became the most disappointing game in the history of chinese football.

the cruel reality of the “group of death” put the chinese national football team into a difficult situation and ultimately suffered a crushing defeat, only winning one game in the entire battle for the top 12.

at the beginning of a new chapter, chinese football is still striving to find a breakthrough, hoping to regain glory on a new stage.
