Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, March 1 (reporter Ji Ye Gongbing) on March 1, the new season of Chinese Super League resumed fighting. In the media stand, a first list printed on A4 paper brightened the reporter’s eyes. Compared with the previous rigid starting list, today’s paper presents more detailed game data, which makes journalists and fans know the game information clearly. Details determine success or failure, and the digitalization and professionalization of Chinese football are constantly improving among these details.
In the past, only the most basic player numbers, names and other information can be seen on the first list of the Chinese Super League. The team and player data are not presented at all, let the audience who don’t understand the ball not understand. This year’s first list adds multi-dimensional data information such as position, games played/time, age, goal, red and yellow cards, formation, etc.
For the “data Emperor”, the expansion of the first list information may not play a big role. But for the general audience, the new information of the starting list is crucial, which can let more people see the doorway of the competition, not just the excitement.
From the starting list, the information provided by the Chinese Super League now is basically similar to the starting list information of the World Cup, Asian Cup, Women’s World Cup and other competitions. It is understood that the layout of the first list of the Chinese Super League, such as the differentiation of the main guest team and the presentation of formation, will be further optimized.
The big face change of the starting list is actually just the tip of the iceberg of Chinese football’s “Digitization.

Taking the event management module as an example, club list maintenance, competition registration, schedule introduction, Official Selection, competition list, report filling and data statistics are all completed on the same information platform.
Take player registration as an example. Chinese Football Association, provincial (District-City) member associations, professional clubs, amateur clubs, football schools, etc. all register players through this platform, in the future, it is also planned to connect with the Education Department, so as to establish a real database for Chinese players; At the same time, through the means of ID card docking with the public security department, face recognition, etc., to prevent age and identity fraud. The transfer process of players will also be transferred from offline to online, and the transfer contract will be filed and anti-counterfeit. In addition, referees and coaches obtain unique identity ID identification codes from the platform, and players will gradually have unique identity codes starting from the second half of this year, which is more convenient for statistics and management.
There is no denying that there are still many shortcomings in Chinese football and Chinese Super League, which need to be sorted out and broken one by one. However, the journey of thousands of miles begins with one step, and all improvements need to be implemented in details one by one. The change of the first list and the construction of the information platform are exactly the gratifying details.
