Asian Cup 2023 Prediction and Discussion

[virasog]

Yes, the tournament will be held at least a year from now, discussing who will win the title is still too early for now. In fact, even though for example a tournament will be held in the near future and if I refer to the picture, it looks like the teams in the top three rows are the candidate teams for the title. Maybe over time the changes will be in the squads of each team, but I also think the changes will not be too significant either, because the squads of each team are currently still in their prime.

You are absolutely right. There is one year until the tournament and it is not certain whether the important players of the teams with strong squads will be injured. Or whether lower tier teams will have surprise performing players. So it is a little difficult to predict. But in general, I see Japan as one of the favorites of the tournament. But there will always be surprises.

Since there is a long time to start the game, no prediction will be effective. If we make a prediction about it after a few months, it can be fruitful. Because in this long period, everything from the players to the coaching staff as well as the performance of the game will change. However, beyond all the issues i prefer japan to get the Asian Cup 2023.

Well at this moment, we can narrow down the potential winners by selecting the countries which usually qualifies for the FIFA world cup from the Asian region, as those countries are more strong than the rest of the Asian countries. With this, we can clearly see Japan and Korea are the favorites for this Asian championship cup.

There is nothing wrong for us to speculate first while waiting for the Asian Cup to start. Your prediction is good enough to choose Japan, but keep in mind, there are several other strong teams that Japan needs to be aware of, including Saudi Arabia, Australia and South Korea. These 3 teams have good players and experienced as participants in the world cup. My opinion,
- Japan
- Australia
- Saudi Arabia
- Korea
This is the favorite team that will play in the semifinals.

It's really sad to see that Pakistan is not able to play this Asian cup 2023 even though we are one of the prominent country in this region. It's not that we were not able to qualify, but actually, FIFA has banned Pakistan from playing football.
The Pakistan Football Federation has been banned by FIFA for more than a year for some unknown reasons and we are not sure when this ban will be lifted. It's a sad moment for me   

May i know the reason as why fifa banned your country? Pakistan must have violated any rules or terms of fifa and they took this decision. They just can't ban any country without a valid reason.
We all know that fifa also banned russians from playing but they had a reason for that.

this is the reason why fifa banned pakistan;

In April 2021, FIFA banned Pakistan for a second time in four years, citing a ‘hostile takeover’ of the Pakistan Football Federation’s headquarters. The takeover was orchestrated by former PFF president Ashfaq Hussain over fears of being removed. Almost a year after the incident, an overwhelming majority of FIFA members have voted to lift the ban on Pakistan — 195 in favour and 4 against — once all the requirements are fulfilled.

the good news is that the fifa ban will be lifted soon but tickets to the asian cup are full and pakistan won't have the chance to join.

Asia is one of the continents that has football fans. The 2023 Asian Cup will be held in China from 16 June to 16 July 2023.
There are 24 countries will compete to win the title of champion. From this tournament will be born players with extraordinary talents who will make the name of each country smell good.
Out of 24 countries, who will come out as champion?

It's really sad to see that Pakistan is not able to play this Asian cup 2023 even though we are one of the prominent country in this region. It's not that we were not able to qualify, but actually, FIFA has banned Pakistan from playing football.

Be patient friend. I personally really understand what it feels like when our country can't participate in this tournament.
Pakistan will get the positives behind what is happening in the field of this sport of football.

We (Indonesia) have been waiting for a long time to be able to participate in this big tournament until finally, after a long time, our wait to qualify has been realized. For me, getting us here is a very meaningful achievement.

FIFA has not banned Pakistan for unknown reason but for known reasons, "Pakistan was suspended by FIFA’s all-powerful Council in April 2021 after the Pakistan Football Federation Normalisation Committee (NC) was thrown out of office by a group of officials led by Ashfaq Hussain Shah, who was elected as president in an election of the PFF held by the Supreme Court in December 2018.
That election was not accepted by FIFA and in September 2019, the global football body appointed the NC for the PFF to hold fresh elections."

Its not a big issue and I dont know why Pakistan government not fulfilling demands of FIFA.

So, this is the reason why FIFA banned Pakistan from taking part in the Asian Cup 2023.
It would have been really interesting to see Pakistan play in this event. at least we could have seen some action between India and Pakistan.

India is way too good in football then its Pakistani counterpart team. Its good for Pakistan that are not in Asia Cup to avoid a defeat from India. Moving on I think Japan and South Korea have strongest sides in Asia, I don't know whether these two countries will send there 1st tier team to take part in this competition or not.

this is why FIFA forbids Pakistan from participating in the Asian cup event, especially now that they are at war with neighboring India, of course this will cause a prolonged conflict between the two countries if they both qualify for the Asian cup, where India itself managed to qualify for the 2023 Asian cup finals after they managed to win the group with a perfect score of 9 points, the Asian cup title itself is still very long but many predict that Japan and South Korea are favorites to win the title on the Asian continent, apart from Qatar and Iran which can be a surprise at any time west asia team

Even Pakistan has rich history in sports but sadly in last two decades they are going down badly even now FIFA banned them due to their poor acts in PFF involvement and mostly Federations are run by ex army persons which is the worst thing happening.

Due to this now they are losing all their International involvements because mostly International Federation's no like Government's involvement, but they are not having any response to this all and doing their jobs which is having bad impact on youths and games few years back there were many great Squash and Hockey players now all gone with soccer is also having completely down and out but due to uncertainty of political system no one able to settle things which is going to happen for some more years hopefully in next few years someone tries to settle things in positive side.

[Ratash]

Isn't it still too long to predict from now on because considering that we are still in June and it looks very early to make predictions for the 24 countries that will compete in the 2023 Asian Cup? Because I'm referring to the schedule so to say it's still very early to make predictions and it will be a bit more difficult to know who will come out as champion.

I totaly agree with you it might be too early to predict who is the winner since one year still remain until the competition but there is a group of countries that are hugely favourites unless we see another surprise like Qatar, but in my opinion japan, south korea, iran, australia and maybe saudi arabia are likely to win the tournament.

There are regulations that prevent a country from participating in the cup event, so FIFA makes decisions based on customer considerations owned by a particular country, political gaps, wars and others can prevent a country from participating in any cup, this limitation may have been violated by Countries that are not included in the Cup, without a definite fault and violation, FIFA cannot disqualify any country

^ Actually, the problem is in Pakistan even their own political situation is not very good. They are facing a lot of problems politically. And there are a lot of bigger problems in Pakistan. Among all those problems the problem with sports really does not look very big. And that is another reason why I think Pakistan is going to need a lot more time to solve these problems with sports. Pakistan also had some big problems to fix in cricket. Luckily those problems are getting fixed with time.

All the other sports or not as popular as cricket in Pakistan so those problems are also going to need more time than it took in the case of cricket.

I know that Pakistan has some good players in cricket but never thought that they are not good at other sports.  I wonder even if fifa unban them, they still won't be able to show any progress in the tournament. There is no point playing the tournament which you are not ready for it. Earlier i saw UmerIdrees and the people of pakistan were sad as their team wasn't able to play in the asia cup, i would suggest them to use this time to develop a strong team with excessive domestic matches.

This is not about the performance of the team but about the participation. Do you think that the younger generation in our country will be willing to play football when they see that there is no scope for this sport as we are banned by FIFA.

Aslo do you think that all the teams who are participating are better than the Pakistani team? This is not the case. Tournaments always consist of weak teams and strong teams however when weak teams play in the big tournaments it gives them more confidence and they learn a lot from such tournaments. Unfortunately, the Pakistan football team will not get this privilege this time.

^ Yes, I think I will agree. The football setup that Pakistan has is not good. We all know that India is not a very good football-playing country and I can surely say that even India has a far better setup compared to Pakistan. If they could play in this Asian cup it would have been better because they could have understood what the problem is and in which areas they have more problems. But they should try to improve regardless.

^ And the parents will also not give any chance to the young generation to play football at all because they know they will not be able to make a living out of it. This time Pakistan not being able to participate is going to hamper the improvement a lot. I know I have talked about the setup being better but there will be no point in making a better setup if they are not able to compete at any level.

[Pierre 2]

I don't usually watch Asian teams besides World cups although World cups clearly shows Japan and South Korea are the strongest teams in Asia. They have many familiar players from European leagues in general. On the other hand Australia (ever since they joined Asia instead of Oceania) can also be competitive in this tournament. Iran may also achieve good positions.
It is sad that China is not doing good in football yet still with a billion population.

Japan and Korea are not the best of the football teams when you compare them with the Europeans and south Americans teams. Also China, India, Iran, Saudi Arab hasn't make any impact. I wonder why the Asian teams are not so strong as compare to the rest of the world?

Maybe the hot weather in Asia is not suitable for the football game or there can be any other reason? Lack of interest in this sport 

[suryana]

So far, many people have given support to countries that have won the cup more, because they are more prepared and have much greater opportunities than countries that are only dark horses, the average player they have is playing in European leagues, experience, skills are definitely above average, even though they can't underestimate other Asian players, because the trophy is the greatest prestige for each country that plays

we do not doubt the quality of the players in next year's Asian cup where teams like South Korea and also Japan have quality players who play in some of Europe's top leagues, maybe they will be strong favorites to win the title because they not only superior in terms of quality and also the players, but they have a winning mentality that is so high that they deserve to be favorites through the title between the Asian continents.maybe only a few countries that we can call dark horses that at times can become serious challengers for two favorites at the top like Saudi Arabia Iran and also Australia where they can also put pressure on the title challengers next season

Hey, you're kidding when you compare Asian teams to European and American teams. Because what he meant was that quite a lot of Korean and Japanese players played in Europe, this means that there is a possibility that those who play in Europe will give positive results when playing for their respective national teams. I'm sure no one will thinking Asia is stronger than Europe and America.

You are wrong if you say we are here not interest in Football, in ASEAN it self, people making Football as their favorite sports, do you have any data if Asian people isn't interested in football?
