and Syria, who were in the same group. According to the official website of the Hangzhou Asian Games
on Monday, Afghanistan and Syria, who were in Group C of the men’s soccer competition, have been
removed from the group stage. Afghanistan’s withdrawal was reportedly due to financial difficulties and
player supply issues, while Syria’s was due to friction with the organizers. The men’s soccer competition,
which initially featured 23 nations, was organized into six groups. Only Group D included three nations,
while the other five groups had four nations. In the group stage, each team played each other once, with
the 12 best teams from the first and second place groups and the four best third place teams advancing
to the round of 16. In Group C, where only two teams remain, Hong Kong and Uzbekistan will meet in the round of 16. 고스톱
