On January 11, 2024, according to CCTV5 program list, the European Football Championship (European Cup) is the highest level national team event in European football, which is held every four years and attracts hundreds of millions of fans around the world. The 2024 European Cup will be hosted by Germany, and a total of 24 teams will participate, 20 of which will be qualified through the European Cup qualifiers (European preliminaries), and the other 4 teams will be qualified through the additional matches of the European National League.

The European preliminaries will start in March 2023, and will be divided into 10 groups, each group has 5 or 6 teams. The group matches will adopt the single cycle system, and the top two of each group will directly qualify for the European Cup. The schedule of the European preliminaries will be determined according to the home location of each group. Generally, each team will play at home in its own country or region to ensure fairness and convenience.

However, due to the impact of the new Champions League epidemic, the epidemic prevention and control measures in some countries or regions may affect the normal progress of the European preliminaries, resulting in some teams being unable to play in their own home courts, or facing strict isolation and detection requirements. In order to solve this problem, UEFA said that they would consider transferring some European preliminary matches to other countries or regions according to the actual situation, so as to ensure the successful completion of the European preliminary matches.

It is reported that the Chinese Football Association has submitted an application to UEFA, hoping to host some European preliminary matches to demonstrate the development of Chinese football and China's ability to prevent and control epidemics. The Chinese Football Association said that they would provide high-quality venues, facilities, services and security for the European preliminary matches. They would also abide by the relevant regulations of UEFA, respect the rights and interests of all teams, and ensure the fairness and justice of the European preliminary matches.

UEFA welcomed and thanked the application of the Chinese Football Association. They said that they would send a professional delegation to conduct a comprehensive assessment and review of China's venues, facilities, services, safety and epidemic prevention and control. They would also maintain close communication and coordination with the Chinese Football Association to make decisions and arrangements as soon as possible. UEFA said that they attach great importance to the quality and level of the European preliminary matches, and they are also very optimistic about the development of Chinese football and China's ability to prevent and control the epidemic. They hope to establish a good cooperative relationship with the Chinese Football Association to jointly promote the progress and development of European football and world football.
