The last time the Chinese men’s national football team reached the semifinals of a continental tournament was in 2004, when they hosted the AFC Asian Cup on home soil. That year, China delivered an impressive performance, defeating teams such as Bahrain, Indonesia, and Qatar to advance to the semifinals. In the semifinal match, China edged out Iran 1–0, securing a spot in the final—their best result in the Asian Cup since 1984. Although they ultimately lost 1–3 to Japan in the final and finished as runners-up, this remains their most recent appearance in the top four of any continental competition. Since then, the Chinese team has experienced inconsistent results in both the Asian Cup and World Cup qualifiers, failing to replicate the success of 2004. The 2004 Asian Cup stands as one of the brightest chapters in Chinese football history and a cherished memory for fans. Now, two decades later, the Chinese men’s team continues striving to regain its place among Asia’s elite.
中国男足上一次进入洲际赛事四强是在2004年，当时他们作为东道主参加了在中国本土举办的亚洲杯。在那届比赛中，中国队表现出色，先后击败了巴林、印度尼西亚和卡塔尔等队，成功闯入半决赛。半决赛中，中国队以1比0战胜伊朗队，时隔多年再次挺进亚洲杯决赛。尽管最终在决赛中以1比3不敌日本队，屈居亚军，但这是中国男足自1984年以来在亚洲杯上的最佳战绩，也是迄今为止最后一次进入洲际大赛的四强。此后，中国男足在历届亚洲杯和世界杯预选赛中表现起伏不定，始终未能重现2004年的辉煌。2004年亚洲杯不仅是中国足球高光时刻之一，也成为球迷心中难以忘怀的记忆。如今，距离那次突破已过去整整二十年，中国男足仍在努力寻找重返亚洲顶级行列的路径。
