　　In the past period of time, the domestic interest in Chinese women's football has continued to rise, and there are also many people who are notorious for the girls through various channels. But now there are still teams of girls who are struggling to survive, and supporting Chinese women's football has finally become a slogan floating in the air.

　　This team, which should have emerged as planned this year, has successively signed cooperation agreements with more than a dozen schools to develop women's football campus youth training. Through the selection and trial training of nearly 100 players, the current lineup was selected. In the team, there are even many players who have been selected to the five-person women's national team.

　　For various reasons, investors have to cut back on capital investment in football clubs. In order to ensure the normal operation of the Tianshan Snow Leopard men's football team in the 2020 Ligue 1 and various Super League events, the club decided to dissolve the Snow Leopard women's football team, which also allowed this team to exist for 7 months.

　　The official dissolution of a women's football team was announced before it was kicked.

　　All along, the living environment of the Chinese Women's Football League has been widely discussed by fans. Career development has narrow employment opportunities, professional leagues have yet to be planned and developed, there is no good salary, and many female footballers have retired early. This has also led to the worsening of the Chinese women's football team in the World Championships.

　　At the beginning of 2019, the Chinese Football Association issued a notice of access rules for professional clubs. The notice shows that all clubs applying for admission to the Chinese Super League should have a women's football team. 2019 is an advocacy standard, and it will be upgraded to a mandatory standard in 2020. Clubs without a women ’s football team cannot qualify for the Super League.

　　Such a decision seems to give some light to the future of the Women's Super League.

　　Because the Chinese men's football team has been weak for a long time, and the women's football girls have been able to leave a good impression on fans on the world stage with hard work. Judging from the comments on the Internet, there are also many people who support women's football. According to this logic, Chinese women's football never seems to lack fans.

　　But the truth is very cruel. The voices that support women ’s football on the Internet have always won the “likes” of countless people, but those figures in the audience appear to be single.

　　According to domestic media reports, in the 2019 Women's Super League, 8 teams have 7 teams whose home games are free to fans. Only the newly promoted Guangdong women's football tickets cost 30 yuan a day, and the package price for the seven home stadiums throughout the year is 168 yuan. But even so, except for a few highly popular teams, there are still very few fans attending the game.

　　There are even a lot of people who "propose" with care, "Chinese bosses should increase their investment in women's football", "Men's football in the same club distributes part of their income to women's football." But after the pale remarks, not many people Put your support for women's football into practice.

　　How many people will continue to pay attention to women's football after the World Cup and the Olympic Games? Through the first competition, everyone knew the core players Wang Shuang and Wu Haiyan, but Wu Haiyan has been a major member of the national team since 2011, and Wang Shuang had had an overseas experience five years before joining Paris. These details are rarely known. .

　　Chinese fans' support for women's football seems to stay more on social media and during the competition.

　　In contrast, in the 2019 La Liga Women's League's top spot battle, Barcelona Women's game against Atletico Women's football, the number of fans present was as high as 60,739. This number has set a new record for the number of spectators at the World Women's Football Club. Such a gap is enough to make people feel helpless.

　　Such a clear gap also explains why China's women's football league is difficult to survive from another angle.

　　In a women's Premier League match in 2019, Wang Shuang played against the Guangzhou Women's Football Team against Guangzhou Women's Football Team. The live broadcast showed that the turf situation at the stadium's Tazihu ​​Stadium was not optimistic, and even comparable to the fans' ridicule Ground ". It is unimaginable that professional football matches can be played here.

In the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup Group B group match, the Chinese team drew 0-0 with Spain and advanced to the top 16 in the group third. The picture shows the Chinese team player Wang Shuang (left) in the game. China News Agency reporter Tomita photo

　　Long-term training and games on such a court will pose a great threat to the health of the players, and the enjoyment of the game will be greatly reduced. Maybe some fans have made up their minds and cheered on the scene, but factors such as hardware facilities have made these people lose their persistent determination.

　　From a certain perspective, the current low level of attention in the Chinese Women's Football League is not due to one reason.

　　Or it is necessary to rely on free tickets to retain a small number of fans, or the establishment of the team is only the "access condition" for the men's football league, but can this way support the future of the women's football? Its own hardware may be an objective reason for existence, but it also requires fans to really "go out of the house" and shout for the women's football from the heart.

　　The price of the "death" of the Xinjiang Tianshan Snow Leopard Women's Football Team should not be sighed on the Internet alone. (Finish)
