updated =The 2004 AFC Asian Cup football competition is the thirteenth staging of
AFC Asian Cup . It was held fromJuly 17 toAugust 7 ,2004 in China. The defending champions Japan defeated China in the final inBeijing .The tournament was marked by
Saudi Arabia 's unexpected failure to even make it out of the first round; a surprisingly good performance byBahrain , which finished in fourth place;Jordan , which reached the quarterfinals in its first appearance; andIraq , which reached the quarterfinals. The final match between China and Japan was marked by post-match rioting by Chinese fans near the north gate ofBeijing Worker's Stadium , in part due to controversial officiating andanti-Japanese sentiment resulting from historical tensions.

Like other sports events, the Asian Cup 2004 was publicised as evidence of
China 'seconomic and athletic progress, being referred to by some as a prelude to the2008 Summer Olympics . Many Chinese see the tournament as a success and take great pride in having showcased such an important sporting event in advance of theOlympics Games . However, the Japanese media and many other international observers have pointed out bad manners on the part of Chinese fans, and some sparse attendances so far at the tournament, raising questions on China's ability to hold such sporting events.Throughout the tournament, most Chinese fans in the stadia expressed
anti-Japanese sentiments by drowning out the Japanese national anthem, displaying political banners and booing whenever Japan got the ball, regardless of the score. This was reported by the international media, and was aggravated whenKoji Nakata apparently knocked in the ball with his right hand in the final against China. [ [http://www.usatoday.com/sports/soccer/world/2004-08-07-asian-cup-final_x.htm USATODAY.com - Japan beats China to win Asian Cup again ] ] The PRC government responded by calling for restraint and increasing police numbers to maintain order. The Japanese government also called on the PRC to ensure the safety of Japanese fansFact|date=July 2008, while specifically asking Japanese nationals or people of Japanese origin to not display any form of excessive pride, especially wearingJapan national football team uniforms. Despite the Chinese government's campaign, a riot started by Chinese fans broke out near the north gate of theBeijing Worker's Stadium , though reports differ as to the extent of the riot. As a result, some media groups have said that displays of "excessiveChinese nationalism during the Beijing2008 Summer Olympics have become a cause for concern for Chinese officials".References
