With the 2024 Chinese Super League about to kick off, Song Kai, chairman of the Chinese Football Association, reaffirmed his firm determination to build a first-class league and a century-old club in Asia at today's strategic cooperation conference. He stressed that Chinese football is standing at a new historical starting point, with the same determination and no change in goal.
Song Kai said that the Chinese Football Association will continue to adhere to two core principles: one is committed to shaping the Chinese Super League into a first-class competition in Asia, and the other is committed to cultivating football clubs that can be inherited for a century. He revealed that the new season will focus on the slogan of "Race for the Future with Love", take a series of strict measures to standardize the operation of the league, improve the quality of the game, and strive to purify the stadium environment.
Last season's Chinese Super League data performance has been quite impressive, with an average of 19,900 on-site spectators per game, and the number of live and on-demand broadcasts is as high as 11.2 billion times and 2700 million passengers, ranking first in Asia. These figures not only prove the wide influence of the Chinese Super League in China, but also reflect the enthusiasm and anticipation of fans for this competition.
At the same time, Lang Xiaonong, known as the "father of the Chinese Super League", reviewed the 20-year development of the Chinese Super League and the 30-year history of the Chinese Professional League. He pointed out that although Chinese football is currently facing difficulties and criticisms, this is also an opportunity for reflection and rebirth. He stressed that Chinese football needs to be brave and brave after shame, and achieve rebirth through reform and innovation.
