Live broadcast on August 5th, the Chinese women’s football team defeated England women’s football team 1-6. After stopping this World Cup group match, Xinhua news agency issued an article to analyze the reasons for the stagnation of Chinese women’s football level. Xinhua News Agency believes that Europe has begun to attach importance to women’s football, rooted in its profound football background and mature training system, and has developed to get twice the result with half the effort. However, Chinese football itself is a relatively dead soil, and the growing flowers are easy to appear in the pan.
It is understood that there are nearly 2.5 million registered women’s football players in North America, 2 million registered women’s football players in Europe, and 15000 registered women’s football players in China Football Association. Li Pei, Professor Physical Science College of South China Normal University, introduced that there are fewer than 10,000 potential players selected in the national youth campus football “Starry Sky” training camp, and there are fewer than 100 middle schools that have been carrying out women’s football for a long time.
Without enough base to support, professional league matches are naturally waterless. Even if it is a champion team like Wuhan Chegu Jiangda women’s football team, there are only hundreds of spectators in the home game. The average audience number of women’s Premier League in 2022 has exceeded 5,000, and La Liga Barcelona women’s football team even set a world record for a single 91553-player game in the same year.
The quality of the league matches largely determines the level of the national team. Is it because we haven’t invested enough? According to the research report of the global women’s football league published by FIFA in 2021, the annual average operating cost of Chinese Women’s Super League clubs ranked first in the world, nearly 2 million US dollars (about 14.32 million yuan).
Many insiders said that the current women’s super league system is not perfect, and the schedule often changes, which is not conducive to the audience entering the game, but also to the improvement of players. The quality of the league is not high, and the players of the national team lack high-level matches, so the national team tends to choose long-term training before the competition. Long-term training will further affect the schedule of the League and lower the quality of the league. In the long run, the vicious circle. “Now there are no more than 10 real quality matches in the league in one year.”
