中國足球發展規劃發佈 2050年成足球一流強國

Chinese soccer is expected to edge its way into the world leading teams by 2050, according to a plan released by China's National Development and Reform Commission on Monday.

中國國家發展與改革委員會週一發佈的規劃提出，中國足球計劃在2050年前躋身世界強隊行列。

According to the Notice of Publishing The Mid- and Long-Term Development Plan for Chinese Soccer, the sport's growth will go through three phases.

根據《中國足球中長期發展規劃》要求，這項運動的發展將經歷三個階段。

Firstly, a foundation for the sport is going to be laid by 2020.

首先，這項運動的基礎建設將於2020年前鋪設完畢。

"People's needs for the sport should be met, whether it is need for playing fields, time or fund," said the Notice. "Soccer's development will be accelerated in schools. The number of schools with a specialty in soccer will reach 20,000 and there will be over 30 million primary and middle school students who often play soccer."

該通知指出：“人們對體育的需求應該得到滿足，無論是比賽場地，還是時間或資金的需求。足球運動的發展將在校園內加速推進。全國特色足球學校的數量要達到2萬所，中小學生經常參加足球運動人數要超過3000萬人”

In the second phase which is between 2021 and 2030, China hopes soccer already grows into a sport with firm foundations and becomes "an important engine of the sports industry" while the national men's team stand out in Asia and women's team return to the leading powers in the world.

第二階段，也就是2021年到2030年，中國希望足球已經成長爲一項有堅實的基礎、成爲體育產業重要引擎的運動。此外，還要求國家男足躋身亞洲前列，女足重返世界一流強隊行列。

In the third phase that spans the next 20 years, the most populous country will "go all out to realize the goals of being the top class soccer nation and all-round development of Chinese soccer."

在第三個階段，跨度爲接下來的20年，這一世界上人口最多的國家將“全力以赴成爲足球一流強國，中國足球實現全面發展。”。

Chinese men's soccer team qualified for the World Cup Finals once and were eliminated at group phase in the 2002 World Cup while the women's team, former World Cup and Olympic runners-up, experienced a downturn after their peak in the 1990s and are now on way back to glory.

中國男子足球隊曾經有一次殺入過世界盃決賽圈，不過在2002年世界盃小組賽階段就被淘汰。而曾經的世界盃、奧運會亞軍中國女子足球隊，在經歷了上世紀90年代的巔峯和之後的一段低谷之後，正走在重塑輝煌的道路上。
