after losing to japan 0:7 away, the chinese national football team returned to their home stadium in dalian to prepare for the match against saudi arabia at 8 pm on the 10th (today). however, before the start of this game, there were many rumors such as "no one is interested in tickets" and "staying in a luxury hotel". in particular, the statement that "the room rate for the chinese national football team to stay in the hotel is 2,500 yuan per night" attracted the attention of many fans and netizens. on the 10th, a reporter from upstream news (reporting email: [email protected]) searched and found that whether it was the hotel's official website, telephone reservations or through third-party apps such as ctrip, the hotel's basic double room price was just over 900 yuan recently, and the price of an executive twin room was generally around 1,400 yuan, which was not as expensive as rumored.

many netizens said on social media that the chinese national football team stayed at the dalian r&f hilton hotel in dalian, "with a price of more than 2,500 yuan per night." many photos showed that the bus with the words "china national men's football team" printed on it was indeed parked in front of the dalian r&f hilton hotel. the football news also confirmed that the chinese national football team did choose this hotel. perhaps the hotel was worried about fans chasing stars, so it also placed metal fences in the hotel lobby. after the news came out, it also attracted a lot of attention and complaints. some netizens said, "after losing to the japanese team by 7 goals, they still have the nerve to stay in such a luxurious hotel. i suggest they stay at the 7 days inn." "one night's room fee is equivalent to half a month's salary."...

many netizens have expressed dissatisfaction with the chinese national football team's stay in a five-star hotel.

in this regard, on the morning of the 10th, the reporter contacted the dalian r&f hilton hotel as a consumer. the staff said that if you check in on the 11th, the price of the executive twin room is more than 1,400 yuan, "the basic twin (i.e. hilton guest room) is fully booked, and there are executive twin rooms available. if you stay for two nights, the average price per night is 1,400 yuan, including breakfast." it is reported that ordinary hilton twin rooms have been fully booked recently, and the price is around 900 yuan on normal days. as for whether the national football players are staying in a basic twin room or an executive twin room, the staff said they are not sure.

some netizens carried banners and went to the hotel entrance to express their dissatisfaction.

afterwards, the reporter made inquiries through the ctrip app and the hotel's official website. the ctrip app showed that the price of the executive twin room on the 11th was 1,400 yuan (excluding breakfast), and the price was 1,633 yuan including breakfast for two. the hotel's official website showed that the price of the executive twin room on the 11th was 1,485 yuan, and the price including breakfast for two was 1,632 yuan. as for the "2,500 yuan" guest room circulating on the internet, the reporter found that, taking the 11th as an example, the room types of dalian r&f hilton hotel that cost more than 2,000 yuan were only three types: "executive sea view suite", "chairman suite" and "presidential suite", all of which were king-size rooms with an area of ​​81 square meters, 118 square meters and 228 square meters respectively, and the prices were 2,332 yuan, 8,888 yuan and 18,888 yuan respectively.

regarding the accommodation standards of the national football team, the reporter consulted a senior football reporter who has been covering the national football team for a long time. according to him, when the national football team plays in large-scale competitions such as the world cup qualifiers, in principle, two players stay in a twin room. if they are old players or have special needs, they can pay the difference and change to a single room. the reason why the national football team chose the five-star hotel r&f hilton this time is that the hotel is located near the center of dalian donggang business district, across the sea from the competition venue, the soaring fish bay stadium, and only takes 15 minutes to drive one way, which is more convenient.

previously, the chinese national football team also announced the details of the logistics support for the top 18 matches, stating that it would adhere to the principle of "keeping everything simple" and economy. for example, except for head coach ivankovic who can travel in business class according to regulations, the rest of the coaching staff and players can only sit in economy class. in addition, the chinese national football team will not rent the entire hotel whether at home or away, but for safety and other reasons, the rooms may be concentrated on the same floor. in principle, the team allocates rooms to players on a two-person basis. if a player intends to use a room alone, he must pay the difference in room rates at his own expense.

the latest news shows that at 8 pm on the 10th, in the second round of the third stage (18-strong match) of the world cup asian qualifiers, the chinese team will play against saudi arabia at the dalian soaring bay football stadium. before the game, "football china" officially released a live broadcast preview. the only broadcast platform for this game is still iqiyi sports, and cctv will not broadcast it live.
