Just at the critical moment of the Meizhou Hakka team's Super League run, Wuhua County Civilization, Radio, Television, Travel and Sports Bureau released a provisional method for handling the special funds for Wuhua County to support the development and growth of the working soccer team, which is not only the local government's support for the Meizhou Hakka team, but also Wuhua County's firm determination to keep the Meizhou Hakka team in the local area. If the Meizhou Hakka team succeeds in reaching the Super League this season, Wuhua County will become the first county-level city in China to have a Super League team, and the only county to have both men's and women's soccer teams in the country's top league at the same time.
According to the Wuhua County Civilization, Radio, Television, Travel and Sports Bureau issued the Wuhua County to support the development and growth of the work soccer team special funds for the interim method, the pool of funds will be invested in 84 million yuan per year. In terms of support for men's work soccer teams, including success in the first division, success in the super division, and success in the annual relegation, there are corresponding support funds for each item. There is also a clear financial support program for the support of women's soccer teams. In addition, for men's and women's soccer Chinese Super League and Chinese First League clubs that have established training bases in Wuhua, there is also a 4 million yuan annual reserve team support fund.
If the Meizhou Hakka team succeeds in the Super League this season, it will receive 20 million yuan of support funds from Wuhua County, and the Meizhou Hakka Football Salon will also receive 4 million yuan of support funds for the reserve team every year. Meanwhile, Meizhou Hakka Football Salon has taken over the Guangdong Women's Football Team, which is playing in the Women's Super League. If the Guangdong Meizhou Hakka Women's Football Team succeeds in relegation this season, the soccer salon will receive 8 million yuan of support funds. If both the Meizhou Hakka men's and women's soccer teams can achieve good results this season, the Wuhua County Soccer Special Funds Pool will provide 32 million in support funds.
On October 9, Cao Yang, General Manager of Meizhou Hakka Football Salon, together with Cheng Zhiwen, Director of Guangdong Provincial Football Sports Center, and Deng Huanhuan, Deputy Director of Guangdong Provincial Football Sports Center, attended the mobilization meeting of Guangdong Meizhou Hakka Women's Football Team for the 2021 Women's Super League at Guangdong Provincial Football Sports Center. This season's Women's Super League started on May 8, and the Guangdong Meizhou Hakka Women's Football Team achieved a record of 2 wins and 1 loss in the first stage, and ranked third in the table with 6 points. The second phase of the tournament will start on October 19 in Kunming, where the Guangdong Meizhou Hakka Women's Football Team will face the powerful Shanghai Agricultural and Commercial Bank.
The Meizhou Hakka women's soccer team, which has many new and old international players such as Luo Guiping, Lin Yuping, Li Qingtong, Zhong Xiudong, Tan Ruyin, Chen Qiaozhu, Xie Qiwen, etc., is aiming to stay in the relegation this season, but Cao Yang hopes the team can fight hard for better results. It is worth mentioning that the predecessor of Meizhou Hakka Women's Football Team, Meizhou Hui Jun Women's Football Team, had received 20 million dollars from the Meizhou Municipal Government for its super-exceeding bonus when it was in the process of super-exceeding. If Meizhou Hakka Men's Football Team succeeds in super-exceeding this season, in addition to the supportive rewards from the government of Wuhua County, the government of Meizhou Municipal Government will also have corresponding supportive measures.
