This game is also the fourth time that national teams at all levels have fought against Saudi Arabia this year. In the previous three matches, the Chinese team eventually lost the game. China U16 is at home this time, hoping to help the Chinese team win a game.

The national teams at all levels have lost three consecutive games against Saudi Arabia this year

Since 2025, national teams at all levels of men's football teams have faced Saudi Arabia three times.

The first match was in the quarter-finals of the U20 Asian Cup. With the advantage of the whole game, China's U20 was "decisively killed" by his opponent at the last moment and unfortunately lost the game.

The second match was in the quarterfinals of the World Cup, when the Chinese team played one less away, they finally lost to Saudi Arabia 0-1.

The third match was in the group stage of the U17 Asian Cup. In the first game, China U17 lost to the host Saudi Arabia U17 with a score of 1-2.

This match between China U16 and Saudi U16 will also be the fourth confrontation of national teams at all levels of both sides this year. If the 2009 National Youth Team can win, it will also end its previous losing streak. If it loses to its opponent again, it will face a relatively embarrassing four-game losing streak. The material comes from the Internet, the Chinese U16 led by Kuang Zhaolei. The comprehensive strength remains to be tested. Since the U17 Asian Cup and World Cup will be held every year, this Chinese U16 will face the U17 Asian Cup qualifiers in the second half of the year. If it can enter the finals smoothly, it will also participate in the U17 Asian Cup main competition around April next year. As long as you win the top eight, you will have the chance to qualify for the 2026 U17 World Cup.

During the European training session last month, China's U16 participated in 8 warm-up matches in Germany, France, the Netherlands and other countries, and the team achieved a good record of 4 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses. In the French "Montai Cup", China's U16 tied the world-class team France's U16. In the two games lost, they also lost to the strong Mexico U16 and the Netherlands U16.

The "Xingtai Cup" of Hohhot is actually a test of the competitiveness of this Chinese U16 in Asia. The participating teams such as Saudi U16, Australian U16, and Vietnam U16 are all strong teams in Asia, and the characteristics of each team are also different, which can represent the first-class level of the same age group in Asia to a certain extent.

If this Chinese U16 can achieve good results in the game, it can prove that they are also highly competitive in Asia. If the results are not ideal, the team still has time to make timely adjustments to the personnel and tactical styles.
