On the night of November 20, the feast of the Qatar World Cup was officially opened. In this quadrennial soccer carnival, Chinese elements are dazzling, highlighting the charm of "Made in China".
Elemental Bloom, Enterprise Power
On the World Cup stage in Qatar, China's infrastructure and manufacturing industries shine. From stadium construction to fan goods, from referee apparel to sponsorship brands, Chinese elements are everywhere.
Roussel Stadium, the "Golden Bowl" that carries the dream of the World Cup, is meticulously constructed by China Railway Construction, with the high-definition LED screen of Zhou Ming Technology reflecting the passion; the new energy buses of Jinlong and Yutong shuttling through; and the construction machinery of Sany Heavy Industry helping the rise of the stadium. This 195,000-square-meter dome holds 80,000 eager hearts.
According to Shangguan News, the containerized construction of the "974 Stadium" also unites the wisdom of Chinese companies. 70% of the stadium is made up of containers, totaling 974, which mainly come from China's Guangdong and Zhejiang provinces.
In the field of goods around the World Cup, the figure of Chinese manufacturers can be seen everywhere. Yiwu, the city known as the "world's supermarket", manufactured sporting goods accounted for 70% of the World Cup peripheral market.
It is worth mentioning that Chinese companies topped the sponsorship list for this year's World Cup. The four giants, Wanda, Hisense, Mengniu and Vivo, joined hands and invested $1.395 billion (about 9.932 billion yuan), surpassing the $1.1 billion of American companies to become the world's largest sponsors.
Wanda Group, as the largest Chinese sponsor of the Qatar World Cup, shares the glory alongside FIFA's six official partners.
