Alright, guys, today I’m gonna walk you through what I did to get the list of football teams for the 2023 Asian Games. It was a bit of a journey, but I managed to put together a pretty comprehensive list. Here’s how I did it:
First off, I started with a simple search. I just wanted to get a general idea of what’s out there, you know? So, I typed in something like “Asian Games 2023 football teams” and started looking at the results.
Digging Into the Results
From there, I started diving into the details. I looked into a few things, I needed more details about the games, like the schedule and who was playing against whom.
- Checked the schedule: I found out that the football tournament at the Asian Games ran from September 19 to October 7, 2023. Pretty neat, huh?
- Looked at the teams: I saw that there were a bunch of teams participating. I didn’t get an exact number, but it was a lot!
- Found the draw: The draw for the tournament happened on July 27, 2023, in Hangzhou. That’s where they decided which teams would play in which groups.
Getting the Team List
Next, I worked on actually making a list of the teams. This was a bit tricky since not all sources had a full list. But I managed to piece together a good one by combining info from a few different places.
- Gathered info from results pages: Some sites had results for specific matches, so I started noting down the teams that were mentioned.
- Checked team announcements: I found some articles about teams announcing their squads for the games. That gave me a few more names to add to my list.
- Combined it all: After looking at a bunch of different pages, I started putting together my own list. It wasn’t perfect, but it was a good start.
Looking at Some Results
After I had a decent list, I started looking into how the teams did. I’m a bit of a stats nerd, so this part was pretty fun for me.
- Gold medal match: I saw that the Republic of Korea beat Japan 2-1 in the gold medal match. That must have been an exciting game!
- Bronze medal match: Uzbekistan won against Hong Kong, China, in the bronze medal match. Good for them!
- Overall standings: I didn’t get a full table of standings, but I got a good idea of who the top teams were.
Wrap-Up
So, that’s pretty much how I went about getting the list of football teams for the 2023 Asian Games. It took a bit of time and some digging around, but I think I put together a pretty solid resource. I hope this helps anyone else who’s looking for the same info!
Oh, and before I forget, I also read that this was the first time a FIFA World Cup host nation also hosted the AFC Asian Cup. And because of a postponement, Qatar 2023 was the only tournament held in an odd-numbered year since 2007. Plus, I learned about the mascots for the 2023 Asian Games – Congcong, Lianlian, and Chenchen. They’re a trio of robots that represent the internet prowess of Hangzhou. Pretty cool, right?
Anyway, that’s all for now. I hope you found this little walkthrough helpful. Until next time!
