On Asian countries' participation in European football

This question is quite interesting, because you just mentioned several typical problems of other continental football clubs participating in the competition.

Turkey, Israel and Kazakhstan participate in UEFA in three different situations.

1. Although most of Turkey belongs to Asia geographically, Turkey has always been a European country and has been recognized by Eurasian countries. Therefore, it is natural for Turkey to participate in UEFA.

2. Israel belongs to Asia in traditional culture and geography, and is also recognized as an Asian country. However, due to the dispute between Israel and Arab countries, Arab countries collectively rejected Israel, and there was an embarrassment that all Arab countries introduced Israel as long as Israel participated. Therefore, international individual sports organizations have to classify Israel into neighboring Europe, and football naturally belongs to UEFA;

3. Kazakhstan belongs to Asia geographically and Asia culturally, but it has been a member of the Soviet Union for a long time, so it is more inclined to Europe ideologically, so it chose to join UEFA.

Australia, on the other hand, is famous for wanting to qualify for the World Cup by participating in the AFC, while Japan was invited to participate in the America's Cup just to expand its influence. If the Japanese pirates are allowed to join the South American Football Association, it is estimated that the Japanese slaves will die worse than death, hehe.

Although the football level in China is not high, it is estimated that the AFC will be abolished if China football really formally proposes to withdraw from the AFC-China football can't represent the Asian level, but from the national level, even if all the countries in West Asia are added up, it can't compare with China's international influence.
