China Footballers To Match Against Bahrain and ROK 　　On July 13, the match ended a 2-2 tie between Saudi Arab and Iraq at the Asian qualifying tournament for the Sydney 2000 Olympics. Saudi Arab qualified for the second stage and became the seed team in the Group A. China Olympic Soccer Team will meet Bahrain and ROK teams in the second stage matches to compete for the sole ticket to Sydney. 　　Because the first stage matches of the Group C had not sealed by July 8, when the lots were drawn to assign teams to the second stage of the qualifying tournament, which teams China will play against was not settled yet. It is possible that China will be the seed team in Group A. But it is also likely for China to be drawn in Group B. After Saudi qualified, the situation for China was quite clear. China will be the second-class team in Group B while the ROK team is the seed in the same group with China. 　　Thus, in the second stage of the Qualifying Tournament, Saudi Arab, Kuwait and Qatar/India will meet in Group A; Group C teams are Japan, Kazakhstan and Qatar/Thailand.
