2026 CFA China Team Chongqing International Football Tournament Set for September-October

The Chinese Football Association has officially confirmed that the 2026 CFA Team China Chongqing International Football Invitation will take place from September 24 to October 6, utilizing both the Longxing Football Stadium and the Tonglianglong Stadium in Chongqing, according to tournament organizers. The upcoming tournament brings international competition back to the southwestern hub, offering national team fixtures across a nearly two-week window during the autumn schedule.

Tournament matches will be hosted across two major venues in the municipality. The 60,000-seat Longxing Football Stadium, which previously hosted high-profile domestic and international fixtures, stands alongside the Tonglianglong Stadium as the primary pitch for the competition. Both venues underwent rigorous inspections by regional sports authorities to ensure readiness for international match operations, broadcast requirements, and spectator safety protocols.

For international sports observers and fans tracking the Chinese national team’s developmental calendar, the autumn invitation window serves as a vital staging ground for tactical evaluations. National team coaching staff typically use such regional invitational tournaments to test player depth, integrate emerging talent from domestic leagues, and fine-tune formations ahead of upcoming continental or global qualification fixtures. Match schedules, participating visiting federations, and ticket sales channels are expected to be released by the Chinese Football Association through its official digital platforms in the coming weeks.

Supporters looking to follow the tournament can monitor official announcements directly through the Chinese Football Association media channels for confirmed kickoff times, broadcast details, and venue entry guidelines as the September opening date approaches.
