Putuo people have always loved football and have the reputation of "the hometown of football". Putuo and football were first associated in the early 1920s, when Jinan University was founded in Zhenru. Jinan University's cultural and sports activities are quite outstanding, among which football is more famous, and an article reads: "The football team of Jinan University, which was also famous in Shanghai at that time, was the crown of all schools in Shanghai. At that time, there were many sports-loving students from overseas Chinese, and some football celebrities were willing to stay in the school as players even after graduation and continue to win glory for their alma mater. At that time, the school had several large and small football fields, and the Jinan football team won nine championships and one runner-up in the ten football championships of eight universities in Jiangnan (Shanghai, Jiangsu and Zhejiang) (Jinan, Jiaotong University, Fudan, Jinling, Central, Daxia, Guanghua and Zhizhi) from 1927 to 1937.

Jinan University's football fever has also driven Zhenru's love for football in this ancient township. Whenever the Jinan team plays, the fans always charter a big truck to watch collectively. In 1932, Zhenru Youth and Jinan University co-workers also formed the Taoguang Football Team. The True Light Sports Association, founded by the owner of the Pan Yimao Hotel in Zhenru Town, has held the True Light Cup Small Football League for many times, and the first league has more than 20 private football teams registered in the local area and Caojiadu area.
