According to the "Upstream News" report, the success of Meizhou Hakka's overtaking this season is inseparable from the importance of football, especially youth training, in Wuhua County, where the club is located.
Meizhou Hakka's success in the super is a good thing for Chinese football, first, he is the only county-level team, indicating that small costs can also be exchanged for good results. Second, most of the players in Meizhou Hakka rushed from the middle B to the middle division and then rushed to the Chinese Super League, which also made the players have more sense of responsibility and belonging.
According to incomplete statistics, Wuhua County has nearly 300 standardized football fields, 366 football teams of various types at all levels, 150,000 participating football players, and more than 2,000 events throughout the year. At present, the county has sent more than 100 good seedlings to the national training team, as well as provincial and municipal sports schools and Meizhou Hakka football clubs. Wuhua County specially set up the New Ball King Youth Football Development Foundation, raising a total of 20 million yuan to implement the New Ball King Football Talent Training Program.
Although it is located in the poverty-stricken county of Wuhua, Meizhou Hakka has achieved continuous profitability for many years, and Meizhou's local ideas and actions for building a "Chinese football special zone" deserve to be used as a template for the development of Chinese football.
