中国放弃申办2026年世界杯

（本文文本为视频大致内容）

Asian Football Confederation President, Mohamed Bin Hamman, has confirmed that China will not bid for the 2026 World Cup. The news has proven frustrating to Chinese soccer enthusiasts, who now have to wait even longer to see the planet's biggest football championship in their home country.

The State Administration of Sports has long expressed a strong wish to host the 2026 World Cup. But the year 2022 seems to offer the biggest chance for an Asian nation, since the 2018 event appears headed to Europe. Applications for 2022 have already been submitted by Japan, South Korea, Qatar, and Australia. This minimizes the chances for another country located on the same continent to host in 2026.

Many Chinese Football Association insiders are expressing regret over the decision not to apply. They have also criticized the chaos and disorder in domestic soccer contributing to China missing a chance at the 2022 bid, which some deem the country's best opportunity.
