Soccer, known as the world's first sport, but behind its scenery, many of China's soccer stadiums are rarely asked.2017, the reporter researched the 100 new community soccer stadiums in Guangzhou, found that Yuexiu, Liwan, Zengcheng, Conghua and other areas, nearly 10 soccer stadiums are almost empty. Yang Lin, a member of the committee, once described the fate of the city's large stadiums as "a big construction before the meeting, the meeting of the roaring, cold and quiet after the meeting".
Against this backdrop, Frisbee sports have quickly become popular because of its low threshold, no physical confrontation, and suitable for both men and women. According to the Xiaohongshu 2022 Top Ten Life Trends Report, in the past year, the amount of Frisbee-related content released increased six times year-on-year, and during May 1, the search volume of "Frisbee" increased 40 times year-on-year, and the number of notes reached 180,000 articles. The reason why Frisbee can be popular in idle spaces such as soccer fields is precisely because it does not have an exclusive venue, and the venue needs are similar to those of soccer.
However, the rapid growth of Frisbees has also put soccer venues under pressure. The controversy over the soccer stadium slogan "No Frisbees or Dogs Allowed in Soccer Stadiums" and the 88 RMB Frisbee points in Beijing Guoan's flagship store have escalated the dispute over venue resources. Some netizens criticized Guoan for being "ugly", but others saw it as a reflection of the traditional club's embrace of a new sport. Most people believe that both public welfare and commercial venues should follow the principle of "first-come, first-served".
Currently, Frisbee sport is in its infancy in China. Statistics from the National Frisbee Sports Promotion Committee show that in 2021, there will be about 500,000 Chinese frisbee players, with a market size of over 85 million yuan. However, Frisbee has been included in the compulsory education curriculum, and the State General Administration of Sports intends to organize the first China Frisbee League, and is expected to become a project of the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic Games. Industry insiders say that a successful Frisbee Olympic application would be a positive sign.
In short, although soccer is a top sport, it is not loved by everyone. The sport of Frisbee has found a place on the playing field with its unique appeal. The original purpose of the sports field was to serve the public, not a single sports group. Produced by Think Finance.
