Soccer, known as the world's most popular sport, but before that, many soccer fields in China are often idle. In 2017, Guangzhou built 100 new community soccer fields, for example, Yuexiu, Liwan, Zengcheng, Conghua and other areas of nearly 10 soccer fields are almost unattended. Yang Lin, a member of the Provincial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), once used the phrase "lively before the meeting, laughter in the meeting, and after the meeting, the door can be closed" to describe the fate of the city's large stadiums.
Against this backdrop, Frisbee sports, with its low threshold, no physical confrontation and suitable for both men and women, has quickly become a new favorite for socializing and fitness. According to the 2022 Top Ten Life Trends report released by Little Red Book, the release of Frisbee-related content has increased six times year-on-year, and the number of Frisbee-related searches has surged 40 times during May Day. As of mid-July, notes about Frisbee have exceeded 180,000 articles. However, Frisbee, as an emerging sport, currently has no exclusive venue, the demand for space and soccer highly overlap, so the occupation of vacant soccer fields for Frisbee activities, in fact, can not be faulted.
However, the rapid growth of Frisbee has triggered the competition for soccer venues. Recently, the slogan "No Frisbee and Dogs Allowed" has appeared on many soccer fields, and articles about the battle between Frisbees and soccer fields have also appeared on the Internet. The article pointed out that the social sports center will be soccer field "frisbee", and even some fans found the official flagship store of Beijing Guoan on the shelves of a price of 88 yuan, with the logo of the national security frisbee, the site of the conflict over resources to a climax.
In this regard, some netizens believe that the national security "eat ugly", lost the face of the soccer club; there are also netizens expressed support for traditional soccer clubs to embrace emerging sports. But more people believe that, whether public welfare or commercial sports venues, should follow the principle of "first come, first served", there is no other sports to take over the soccer field said.
At present, Frisbee is still in its infancy in China. Statistics from the National Frisbee Sports Promotion Committee show that in 2021, there will be about 500,000 players participating in Frisbee sports in China, with a market size of more than 85 million yuan and less than 100 million yuan.
However, in April of this year, the Ministry of Education officially included Ultimate Frisbee in the compulsory education curriculum. in July, the State General Administration of Sports issued a document proposing to organize the first China Frisbee League. In addition, Frisbee is also applying to become an official competition of the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic Games. Industry insiders say that if the Frisbee Olympic application is successful, it will bring huge development opportunities to the industry.
In summary, although soccer is the most popular sport in the world, it is not for everyone. As a sport suitable for both men and women, Frisbee is no different from soccer, basketball, volleyball and other sports. The original purpose of the stadium is to serve the general public, not just a specific sports group. (Produced by Think Finance)
