Chinese Taipei

The Chinese Taipei national team is a fairly good team, although they lack star players. The team had a successful run at the recent Asian Games, reaching the semi-finals where they lost to Jordan. This was followed by another defeat in the match for third place against the Chinese national team. However, this is still considered a fairly successful result. In the qualification for the Asian Cup, Chinese Taipei will face the national teams of New Zealand, the Philippines, and Hong Kong in their group.

New Zealand

The New Zealand national team achieved their highest results in their history at the turn of the century. In 2002, the team sensationally finished fourth at the World Championship. This modest country also has several victories in the Oceania Championship, with the most recent one dating back to 2009. In the qualification for the Asian Cup, it will be difficult for New Zealand, considering the level of opponents in their group. However, the team will definitely strive to qualify for the final stage.

Interesting facts and head-to-head history
