In another match, China U23, in their first appearance in the quarterfinals, will face Uzbekistan, one of the continent's traditional powerhouses in youth football. This is considered a very big challenge for the East Asian representatives.
Japan U23, the team that has made the strongest impression since the start of the tournament, will face Jordan. Although considered superior in terms of squad strength and form, the Japanese team still needs to be cautious as Jordan has shown clear improvement with each match.
