In the eyes of many Chinese people, especially sports fans, Britain’s well-known football teams and superstars make football Britain’s calling card(名片). Chinese President Xi Jinping, a fan of the sport, will pay a visit to Manchester City football club with British Prime Minister David Cameron during his state tour of the UK. It is said that Xi’s visit will not only open a golden time for China-UK relations but will also bring football cooperation between the two nations. Hosting the World Cup and enabling the Chinese football team into the world are a dream of generations of Chinese people. China has tried to make more connections with the British football industry.

About 51 percent of Chinese football fans are fans of Britain’s Premier League(英超联赛). The Premier League has now become a bridge for cooperation between the two countries, after President Xi met with Prince William in March 2015. President Xi has said that China needs to train more teenagers in football to develop the sport in the country. In China, teenagers often spend most of their time on studies,so they don’t have time to play football. Guangzhou Evergrande(广州恒大) football club set up a football school with Renmin University of China in 2013, and that is the first of its kind in China. The team hopes that more and more teenagers can enter football teams .
