Football is now a compulsory part of the national curriculum in China. The “football reform plan,” starts with opening over 20,000 soccer-based schools and academies, with the ambition of producing more than 100,000 players by 2017. Along with starting children at a younger age, there will also be study abroad programs set up in places like Spain and the Netherlands for advanced students. In places like Beijing, football will be added to the mandatory high school entrance exam, and schools will be required to include the sport in its physical education classes.


http://the18.com/news/china-has-new-priority-and-priority-football

Tom Byer is involved in the implementation of this program. He discusses some of the challenges in implementing the Chinese School Football program in this podcasr: : http://www.beyondthepitch.net/podcasts/edition/index.cfm/one-world-sports/2015/08/12/

If this takes off it's going to make WC qualification via the AFC that much harder. But apart from that Byer offers ideas and strategies that should give the FFA and all football supporters a lot to think about.





Its a game for everyone. Its not pale, male, or stale. It transcends race, gender, economic status. Its for everyone. - Tal Karp

It could be a massive issue for other Asian nations competing against China.

Wow. That country is really going to take strides forward.

I reckon the CSL is going to get a lot better over the years.

There might be a few more stumbles along the way, but it's pretty much an inevitability that China will become a dominant force, sooner or later.

I hope so but doubt it. They have been saying stuff like this for 15/20 years. I question their infrastructure and ability to carry through such ambition.

They've got the population, they've got the money, and they've got the interest in the game, to leave aside their achievements in other sports and their general cultural disposition to work hard at careers they deem desirable. The infrastructure can't not develop with all the other interests in place in such a volume as China has. Might be 30, 50 or 80 years but yeah as I see it, it's a pretty basic inevitability, barring some massive global change that none of us can foresee.

In 2050 two of the world's "big 5" leagues will be the CSL and the MLS (or their successors obv).

Bit worrying. China has it in them to be world-beaters in football. They've got the population, the enthusiasm, the money and can have the infrastructure to be world class at football.

When you think of China, Qatar (who, I heard tell, can wrought FIFA naturalisation rules to claim top class European/South American players), Japan and South Korea, Asia become bloody difficult.

Yeah. China may have the sheer numbers but I think the J-League is the Asian league that'll just keep growing. The demographics and wealth are all there.

Someone feel free to bump this in 30 years if I'm wrong though. :lol:

Not too sure how much wealth I'd say is in Japan for the future. Economy is slowing down with every passing year. Lots of big companies axing jobs.

China is where the wealth is at. I used to live there, and I've never seen a country grow and change so fast in my life.

Lots of supercompanies who will take football teams on board. Look at Guangzhou. They're part owned by Alibaba, a giant electronics company. In fact, Alibaba's logo is all over the opening credits of the new Mission Impossible movie!

Yeah, because the Japanese economy is going great. Or not.

J-League will be slowing down, not ramping up.

India has potential, but they might need a bit of a shift first. The success of the recent ISL shows that it can happen, but this is only a very short tournament. If they can maintain average attendance of 20k + during a 6-9 month, then yes, absolutely.
