Up to now, Mu Zhehebuaitijiang can be called China's soccer world's only real national football talent. And from the Xinjiang Tianshan Snow Leopard Football Club, Abdu Hemiti - Abdu Gheni and Dili Mulati - Maolani Yazi, although had been selected for the national team training list, but more as a newcomer to the investigation, and did not formally among the list.
It is worth mentioning that in 2018, 2002-born national youth team and Shandong Luneng youth team captain Subi Abulimiti was honored with the Chinese Football Golden Boy Award, becoming the first Xinjiang player to win the award. Immediately after that, in 2023 and 2024, 2003-born Efirdin and Baihelamu Abdouweli successively pocketed the honor.
In the field of soccer refereeing, Xinjiang has also made remarkable achievements. 2024, Maimaitijiang Aihmeti was awarded the Silver Whistle Award of the Chinese Super League, which undoubtedly marks another small step in the development of soccer in Xinjiang.
Turn to the current U23 Asian Cup tournament, it is not difficult to find that, although the Xinjiang national Olympic team players, such as Baihe Lamu, showed a unique style and advantages, but compared with Japan and South Korea players, there is still a significant gap in the overall strength. Many Chinese soccer practitioners agree with one point: China's dream of a strong soccer country can not be separated from the active participation of Xinjiang soccer. However, in the face of reality, Xinjiang professional soccer and soccer industry is still in its infancy.
The rise of professional soccer is indispensable to many professionals, such as professional coaches, players, managers, referees, youth training coaches, scouts, rehabilitators, physical fitness coaches, and specialized technical coaches. In terms of cultural construction, professional tournament operation, media personnel, commentators, etc. are also indispensable.
To realize the leap from quantitative change to qualitative change is inseparable from the many soccer people who adhere to the love and craftsmanship. I believe that in the near future, the national team will usher in more Xinjiang players to join, Xinjiang soccer tomorrow will be more brilliant.
