Football Weekly wrote that the Chinese Super League has entered its break and the Chinese national team will gather on the 23rd to prepare for the 18th round of qualification matches starting in September. Recently, the Liaoning Provincial Sports Bureau released data about the previous 36th round match between Shenyang Zhongtai and the national team, sparking discussions and increasing anticipation for the upcoming 18th round matches.
Li Zhigang, director of the Industry Department of the Liaoning Provincial Sports Bureau, introduced: “Just on June 6th, when the national team played in Shenyang, over 40,000 fans from other provinces and cities poured into Shenyang, directly generating over 300 million yuan in consumption.”
The data provided by the Liaoning Provincial Sports Bureau fully demonstrates the “match-day economic frenzy” of the Chinese national team’s World Cup qualifiers to fans. This is actually one of the major reasons why many cities are actively applying to host the 18th round matches.
Finally, Football Weekly concluded: “For Chinese football, ‘match-day economy’ is an issue that cannot be ignored and deserves further study.”
