From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Chinese Taipei national football team is the official name given by FIFA to the national football team of the Republic of China (Taiwan) (see Chinese Taipei for team naming issue.)
[edit] History
The Chinese Taipei Football Association (CTFA), was founded in mainland China as the China Football Association in 1924 and relocated to Taiwan in 1949 at the end of the Chinese Civil War. Affiliated with FIFA in 1932 as China, it rejoined FIFA in 1954, first under the name Taiwan, then Republic of China, and later Chinese Taipei.
The team's greatest success came when, playing as Taiwan, they finished third in the Asian Cup in 1960. However, the players in the team originally came from Hong Kong since the reputation of the Hong Kong national football team was not as good as the the Republic of China's.
[edit] Stadium
-
Most of the team's home matches are played in the Chungshan Soccer Stadium, located in Taipei. The stadium's capacity is slightly above 20000 and is a football specific stadium.
