The SocZ will partner with the head of the non-profit Chinese Football Association, which oversees Chinese soccer, including amateur and professional leagues.
The SocZ objectives include how soccer can create healthier Chinese children and youth, as well as teaching children sportsmanship and teamwork, as it should be with any team sport.
The SocZ also identifies other areas to create a national soccer culture, including soccer-specialized journalists (who have both a technical and global sense of the game), sports medicine experts, top referees and coaches, and corporate sponsors (for higher player salaries).
