    International Journal of New Developments in Education ISSN 2663-8169 Vol. 2, Issue 8: 6-10, DOI: 10.25236/IJNDE.2020.020802 Research on Chinese Football Competition System and Training System Dongqiang Wei Jianghan University, Wuhan, 430000, Hubei, China ABSTRACT. Our country's football competition system and training system have been initially established, the level of each component has been improved to a certain extent, and the functions have been reflected to a certain extent. However, its constituent elements still exist: the competition goals are not unified, the organizational structure is not reasonable, the competition system is not perfect, the competition resources are not rich enough, and the rules and regulations are not perfect. Therefore, the establishment of a complete and relatively stable competition and training system is an urgent problem to be solved at the current stage of the development of football in my country. This article draws on the successful experience of the world's football power competition and training system layout, according to the growth law and football training law of the world's outstanding football players, combined with my country's national conditions and the current development of football, proposes a Chinese football competition and training system plan and professional team training. Process structure and youth football training outline. The full implementation of the competition system and training system will play an important role in the development of football in my country, especially the popularization and improvement of youth football. KEYWORDS: Chinese football, Competition system, Training system 1. Introduction Football competition is the only way to train football players to become talents.

  • The Impact of Sports Events on Urban Development in Post-Mao China: a Case Study of Guangzhou
    ABSTRACT THE IMPACT OF SPORTS EVENTS ON URBAN DEVELOPMENT IN POST-MAO CHINA: A CASE STUDY OF GUANGZHOU By Hong Chen The study on the relationship between sports and cities has proliferated among academics. However, research is mostly focused on developed countries such as the United States and Europe. What kind of impacts do sports events have on Chinese cities? Do sports-events influence post-Mao China differently than developed countries? Assessing the impacts that sporting mega-events have on Guangzhou, which will host the 16th Asian Game in 2010, this research reveals that China’s governments are the key actor in the process of bidding for and hosting mega-sports events. Cities in China have used this strategy to stimulate new district development instead of urban redevelopment. The city governments in China are pursuing sporting mega-events for infrastructure improvement rather than economic issues. The construction of new stadiums and infrastructure, environmental improvement, city image improvement and district development are positive outcomes; however, there is a lack of economic assessment. There is a need for the city to cooperate with the private sector, adopt public participation and to develop a cost-effective use of sports facilities after the sporting mega-events are over. THE IMPACT OF SPORTS EVENTS ON URBAN DEVELOPMENT IN POST-MAO CHINA: A CASE STUDY OF GUANGZHOU A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Miami University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Arts Department of Geography by Hong Chen Miami University Oxford, Ohio 2006 Advisor: Stanley W.
