Soccer Fans Copy Their National Team

A special "Chinese National Soccer Team" will appear on the stands, but not on the pitch, when China plays Uzbekistan in their World Cup qualifiers in Shenyang on September 15.

This special team, if possible in practise, consists of soccer fans who look alike their idols, either players or coaches, from the national team. The special team will be joined by some 2000 well-organized soccer fans to stand behind the national eleven.

Special security measures would be taken in case a chaos would occur. Only 48000 seats are going to the public while the Wulihe Stadium, venue for the match, can hold about 60000. Moreover, tickets with modern technology will block anyone who attempt to enter the stadium with fake tickets and only drinks whose packaging meets a certain standard will be allowed inside.
