■ The four-level campus football leagues of the class, school, district and city provide seedlings for the youth training
On March 26, 2021, the city-level finals of the Wuhan Campus Football League kicked off. The competition continued until April 25. For a whole month, more than 4,000 primary and secondary school students from 410 participating teams across the city participated in this competition.
This competition started in 2009. At that time, there were 37 participating teams. For more than 10 years, Wuhan has made great efforts to improve the popularity of campus football. The scale of campus football layout schools has rapidly expanded from nearly 100 in 2014 to 437 today. 40% of the total number of primary and secondary schools in the city.
In these schools, "the class has a team, the grade has a competition, and the school has a representative team" has become the norm.
The Wuhan campus football league has also formed a "four-level league" pattern of class, school, district and city levels, and the level and scale of the competition have increased year by year.
In 2021, at the 14th National Middle School Students Games, Wuhan middle school students won the women's football championship and the men's third runner-up on behalf of the Hubei team.
The person in charge of the Sports, Health and Arts Department of the Municipal Education Bureau said that the purpose of hosting the event is to find more outstanding football seedlings, and also hope to see the continuous increase in the popularity of football.
The way the education department and the football association jointly operate the league ensures the professionalism and integrity of the competition.
In 2014, the Municipal Education Bureau and the Municipal Sports Bureau launched the Wuhan Football Youth Training Program.
The youth training coaches select the most potential football seedlings from each game and provide them with the top technical training, participation opportunities and ascending channels for free.
As of 2021, the Wuhan Youth Training Program has established 6 municipal-level echelons and 4 municipal-level training teams, covering 10 age groups born from 2002 to 2011, and radiating both central and remote urban areas in the city. More than 700 people.
"The vast majority of these young players were discovered by coaches in the campus football league." said the relevant person in charge of the youth training department of the Wuhan Football Association.
Since 2009, many future stars of Wuhan football have emerged from the Wuhan Campus Football League.
For example, in 2020, Liu Yiheng entered the U19 National Youth Team, Lin Wenjie and Chen Jue entered the U16 National Youth Team, and participated in various competitions on behalf of the national team. They all emerged from the campus football league in 2013 and entered the youth training program.
The 18-year-old Wuhan goalkeeper and national junior team player Liu Shao Ziyang came out of the Wuhan Campus Football League and went to a wider stage. He signed with the German Bayern Munich club and is currently training and living in the Bayern Munich youth training base.
However, under the traditional youth training model, problems such as premature departure of young players from family education and difficulty in ensuring cultural learning are more prominent.
In order to solve the predicament and focus on the all-round development of youth football talents, since 2015, the Municipal Education Bureau has issued and improved relevant policies for football talents, and established Wuhan No. The special football schools covering the compulsory education stage and the ordinary high school stage provide a smooth "enrollment channel" for outstanding football talents.
Since then, Qiyi Middle School, Minzu Middle School, City Twelve Middle School, City Nineteen Middle School, City Twenty-ninth Middle School, Yucai High School, Wujiashan Middle School and other schools have also become places for outstanding football players in Wuhan to study culture.
