The Jiangsu Football City League has become extremely popular this summer. Here are the details: High Audience Numbers - The average attendance in the first round of the league was 8,798 people, and it soared to 15,025 people in the third round, far exceeding the 6,467 - person average of the China League One in the same period. The Xuzhou team attracted 22,198 spectators in a match, setting a single - game record for the tournament. Even in the "battle of salted duck vs. peaches" between Nanjing and Wuxi at Wutaishan Sports Center in Nanjing, 16,000 fans in raincoats showed up despite heavy rain. Upgrades of Venue Facilities - Due to the high attendance, many teams have urgently upgraded their home - venue facilities. The Xuzhou team moved its matches from the old gymnasium to the Olympic Sports Center, increasing the audience capacity from a few thousand to over 20,000. The Nantong team will use the Haimen Sports Center in the next round. The Changzhou team plans to triple the capacity of its original home venue, and the Nanjing Football Association is coordinating the schedule of the Nanjing Olympic Sports Center to solve the seat shortage problem of Wutaishan Gymnasium. Integration of Culture, Tourism, and Consumption - The league has become a "super medium" for cultural and tourism interaction among cities. During the Dragon Boat Festival holiday, Changzhou offered free admission to all A - level scenic spots for tourists with Yangzhou ID cards, attracting 60,000 tourists from Yangzhou. Yancheng attracted 10,000 people with the promotion of "watching the game and getting an egg pancake", and Huai'an launched "ticket - root - exclusive discounts", driving a 30% increase in scenic - spot passenger flow. Nanjing launched a "ticket + accommodation + shopping" package, and the hotels around Wutaishan were almost full. The total cultural and tourism consumption during the Dragon Boat Festival holiday was 3.13 billion yuan, of which out - of - town tourists contributed 56%. It is precisely because of this that the six host cities of the league have seen a year - on - year increase of 14.63% in the total cultural and tourism consumption through the UnionPay off - site channel during the Dragon Boat Festival holiday. Considerable Online Influence - The Douyin topic Jiangsu City Football League has a playback volume of 820 million, and the Hupu app has urgently launched the "Jiangsu League" channel, with a traffic of over 1 million on the first day. The slogans such as "no match - fixing, no biased referees, only long - standing rivalries" and "match comes first, friendship fourteenth" have become online banters, highlighting the intense rivalries among the 13 cities in Jiangsu. Active Policy Support - The 2017 "Implementation Opinions on the Reform and Development of Football in Jiangsu Province" proposed the goal of "building 4,000 amateur clubs and 8,000 fields by 2025". The 2025 provincial government work report mentioned football twice, clearly stating that the city league should be used as a starting point for the "revitalization of the three major balls".
