The China national football team, often referred to as Team China or the Dragon's Team, represents the People's Republic of China in men's international football. Based in Beijing, the team is a member of the Asian Football Confederation and plays home matches at various stadiums across the country, including the Workers' Stadium. Governed by the Chinese Football Association, the team's colors are predominantly red and yellow. The national team was formed in the 1920s and has experienced a long and often challenging footballing journey. The meaning of the name is straightforwardly representative of the nation. China's sole FIFA World Cup appearance in 2002 remains the defining peak of the national team's history, a moment of immense national pride achieved under coach Bora Milutinović. The modern era has been marked by significant investment and high expectations, with naturalized players being introduced to bolster the squad, yet consistent success at the Asian Cup or in World Cup qualifying has remained elusive. The team's fan base is vast and passionate, with every match scrutinized by millions, creating immense pressure. The Dragon's Team continues its long quest to establish itself as a true Asian powerhouse.
