Is football/soccer popular in China? Why or why not?
by Zander Callaghan on 7.03.2023 Comments (0)Football/soccer is gaining popularity in China, with over 270 million people playing the game regularly. Although the Chinese Super League is not as popular as the English Premier League, the sport is gaining a huge following in the country. The Chinese government is also investing heavily in the sport, setting up football academies and focusing on youth development. Despite this, the sport does not yet have the same level of popularity as traditional sports such as badminton, ping pong and martial arts, which remain the most popular sports in the country. However, with the increasing investment into the sport, soccer is likely to become much more popular in the years to come.
