China News Service, Beijing, April 2 (Zhang Mengzhe and Xing Chong) The Ministry of Education recently announced the registration and approval results of a new batch of undergraduate majors in general colleges and universities, and football has become a new major. Ren Dingmeng, deputy dean of the Chinese Football Academy at Beijing Sport University, said in an interview with a reporter from China News Service that establishing football majors in colleges and universities is an important measure to explore innovative football talent training models.

  According to an announcement from the Ministry of Education, 30 colleges and universities, including Beijing Sport University, Fujian Normal University, and Guizhou Police College, will offer football sports majors, mainly sports and normal colleges. Industry insiders pointed out that this marks another acceleration of the pace of Chinese football reform and is a concrete implementation of the "Overall Plan for the Reform and Development of Chinese Football" and a further detailed practice of the goals and requirements put forward in the plan.

  "Football is a sport that is generally concerned by the public, and as a landmark event in the construction of a sports power, it has received much attention. Therefore, under the guidance of policies, the cultivation of football talents is also receiving more and more attention." Ren Dingmeng said, from the university level In short, the establishment of football major is an important measure to reform the sports talent training model in colleges and universities and promote the development path of integrated sports and education.

  The purpose of adding a football sports major to colleges and universities this time is to serve the national strategy, meet the needs of economic and social development, comprehensively promote the "full chain" talent cultivation of the football industry, and build a government-led, collaborative education and sports department, with the active participation of university organizations and social institutions. Talent training model. Colleges and universities can rely on the advantages and characteristics of running schools, actively carry out cross-disciplinary integration, cooperate with industry associations, professional clubs and other institutions to form a composite teaching team to jointly develop courses such as football industry, football management, sports performance analysis, football sports rehabilitation, etc., so as to Cultivate compound and applied football professionals.

  Ren Dingmeng believes that in the initial stage of the construction of football majors in colleges and universities, it will mainly recruit high school students, sports school, football school students and professional club echelon players with a certain level of football skills. At the same time, colleges and universities are encouraged to actively explore the "3+4" integrated talent training model. , to accept more students with football specialties to open up the channels for further education for football talents; as the professional construction gradually matures and the talent capacity required by the entire football industry expands, ordinary students who do not have systematic football training and competition experience can also apply for football in the future. Sports major, thus entering the football field to engage in industry-related work.

  As more and more colleges and universities offer football majors, the talent supply chain from campus football to social football has been improved. Ren Dingmeng said that in the context of promoting the construction of a sports power, the country has vigorously promoted the reform and development of football, and more and more colleges and universities have begun to attach importance to the cultivation of football talents. This is another way for students who are willing to work in the football industry in the future. "A way out", I believe that more parents will support their children to join the football field in the future.

  How to scientifically set up football professional courses is a new topic currently faced by colleges and universities. Ren Dingmeng suggested that each university should combine its own advantages and characteristics in running schools to carry out differentiated development. The construction of football sports majors is different from traditional disciplines. It should not only follow the rules of higher education major construction, but also start from the rules of football project development, research and Explore the talent training model of “discipline + project”.
