China's Olympic soccer team has arrived in Seoul for its opener in this year's Athens Olympics qualifying round.

The Chinese team will take on their old rivals South Korea on Wednesday.

Although South Korea has been a tough nut to crack, Chinese captain Du Wei said his team is confident of beating the Koreans.

The 21-member Chinese team is without star striker Qu Bo, who has been dropped for his mediocre performance since recovering from an injury.
