Up to now, Muzhehmeti Jiang can be regarded as a real representative of national soccer. Meanwhile, Abdu Hemiti Abdugani and Dilimurati Mawlaniyez, who originated from the Xinjiang Tianshan Snow Leopard Football Club, were on the list of the national training team, but this was mainly a newcomer's examination, and they did not make the official list.
In 2018, Subi Abulimiti, born in 2002 and captain of the National Youth Football Team and Shandong Luneng Youth Team, won the Chinese Football Golden Boy Award for the first time as a player from Xinjiang. Immediately after that, in 2023 & 2024, Efirdin & Baihramu Abdiweli, both born in 2003, pocketed the award for the second consecutive year.
In the world of soccer refereeing, Xinjiang has also made remarkable achievements. 2024, Maimetijiang Ehmeti was awarded the Silver Whistle Award of the Chinese Super League, which is a new milestone in the development of Xinjiang's soccer.
Focusing on this U23 Asian Cup, it is not difficult to find that, despite the unique advantages of the Xinjiang national Olympic team players, such as Baihelamu, but compared with Japan and South Korea players, the overall strength is still a significant gap. Many Chinese soccer people agree: China's dream of a strong soccer country, Xinjiang soccer plays an indispensable role. However, in reality, Xinjiang professional soccer and soccer industry is still in its infancy.
The development of professional soccer cannot be achieved without a large number of professionals, including professional coaches, players, managers, referees, youth training coaches, scouts, rehabilitators, physical fitness coaches and specialized technical coaches. At the level of cultural construction, professional tournament operation, soccer media personnel, commentators, etc. are also crucial.
To realize the leap from quantitative change to qualitative change, many soccer people need to adhere to the spirit of love and craftsmanship. I firmly believe that in the near future, the national team will usher in the addition of Xinjiang players, Xinjiang soccer tomorrow will be more brilliant.
