He emphasized the need to thoroughly study and implement General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important expositions on sports, vigorously develop and popularize campus football, continuously optimize the youth training system, enrich the supply of events, and improve infrastructure, so that every child has more opportunities to excel in life, and promote the high-quality development of the city’s football industry. Municipal leaders Liu Lingjun, Xiao Zhibin and Zhou Yunling participated in the investigation.
In Lingling District, Zhu Hongwu visited Yongzhou No. 3 Middle School and Yongzhou Risheng School to learn more about the talent training, echelon construction, and hardware facilities of the football teams of the two schools. In Yongzhou No. 3 Middle School, he walked into the school history museum to learn about the development of special education, and then went to the training base to interact with the team members, encouraging the school to adhere to the characteristics of football education, optimize the curriculum, promote the synergy of cultural learning and football training, and help students develop in an all-round way. At Yongzhou Risheng School, Zhu Hongwu observed the team’s confrontation training, and encouraged the school to follow the rules of football and youth growth, provide scientific training, teach students in accordance with their aptitude, and continue to give full play to the advantages of running a unique school so that every child can develop their talents and grow into talents.
In Lengshuitan District, Zhu Hongwu visited Cuizhuyuan Primary School, Lida Middle School, and Binjiang Primary School. At Cuizhuyuan Primary School, he encouraged the school to integrate the spirit of “Forever Charge” into ideological and political courses, use the Yongzhou team’s struggle stories on the field to inspire and educate children, and timely invite members of the 2025 “Hunan Super League” champion Yongzhou team to give on-site lessons to the children. At Lida Middle School, he encouraged the members of the school football team to train hard and study hard with the words: “The edge of the sword comes from sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold.” At Binjiang Primary School, he watched the “Forever Charge” recess exercise and communicated with physical education teacher Gong Limei, requesting relevant departments to pay attention not only to cultivating the youth player echelon, but also to the construction of a team of referees. Through systematic training and practical experience, they strive to cultivate a group of local professional referees who understand the rules and are proficient in business, and continuously expand the team of football talents.
During the survey, Zhu Hongwu pointed out that the development of football is an important way to enrich the spiritual and cultural life of the people and enhance the vitality of the city. It is necessary to insist on starting from the youth, deepen the integration of sports and education, popularize campus football, improve the campus football system and youth training system, establish a talent discovery, selection, training, and reserve mechanism, strengthen the construction of coaches and referees, optimize the city’s college admissions policies, and smooth the growth channels for football talents. It is necessary to improve infrastructure, cultivate a number of sports clubs, enrich the supply of events, stimulate people’s enthusiasm for participation, fully mobilize the enthusiasm of all aspects, and strive to create a good social atmosphere for national fitness. It is necessary to scientifically formulate the “15th Five-Year Plan” for the development of football, promote the coordination of education and sports departments, integrate resources, diversify investment, stimulate market vitality, and promote the coordinated development of football and industry.
