　　In November 2011, when the development of professional football in Wuhan, Hubei fell into a trough, and the only professional football team had no one to take over, Zall, as a local company in Wuhan, invested in taking over the team with gratitude to the city.

Zall has continued to support the operation of clubs and teams for 11 years, with a total investment of more than 3 billion yuan. Since 2012, the team has represented Hubei Wuhan in the Chinese Professional Football League for 11 consecutive seasons, continuing the development of professional football.

A historic breakthrough has been achieved in high-level leagues. Two teams from the same city, the Chinese Super League and the Women’s Super League, both won the championship in the 2022 season. At the same time, many teams are active in leagues at all levels. More and more companies and institutions are participating in and supporting football. , Wuhan, Hubei has formed a flourishing professional football development ecology, and the current development conditions, strength, and level of professional football are no longer the same as they were eleven years ago.

Under the guidance of the Wuhan Football Association, our club will do a good job in the smooth transition of echelon and youth training work, and actively support and help coaches and players connect with new development platforms.
