Numerous football activities are planned at ISPO Shanghai with the club representatives, who will also inform about their club work at the International Football Forum, for example the promotion of young talents. In addition, the Red Card Report, an annual study on the influence of European football in China, will be presented. The report also provides valuable insights into Chinese fan behaviour and the different needs in Chinese football culture.
