"Yu Chao" rises! The battle started tonight, the ticket price was 5.6 yuan, and nearly 20,000 tickets were sold out instantly

Today (13th) at 19:30, the 2025 Chongqing City Football Super League will officially start, and the first game will be held at the Datian Bay Football Stadium. This event is affectionately called "Yu Chao" by Chongqing people. The ticket price is 5.6 yuan, and nearly 20,000 tickets are sold out in an instant. Chongqing Datianwan Stadium is the first Class A stadium since the founding of the People's Republic of China. On the day of issuance on September 9, nearly 20,000 tickets were sold out instantly. The ticket price is very affordable, 5.6 yuan per ticket. According to the organizing committee, the first game of Datian Bay Stadium was held in 1956.

Fans who have not bought tickets can visit the market, eat food, watch games outside the court, and experience the lively atmosphere on the scene.

The two strong zones have a T-shirt on each seat, divided into red and blue colors, and there are props to cheer for you. The two teams in the first game came from two main urban areas in Chongqing: one team came from Yuzhong District where Datianwan Stadium is located, and Jiefangbei, Hongyadong and Chaotianmen are all in this area.

Another team comes from Jiulongpo District, which is the industrial area of ​​Chongqing. Chongqing Zoo, the urban zoo with the largest number of giant pandas in the country, is also here.

The oldest players in these two teams are 53 years old and the youngest is 17 years old. They come from all walks of life, including university teachers, truck drivers, civil servants, students, and retired professional athletes.

41 teams participated in the competition, and each team had its own characteristics. This year, the "Yu Super League" formed a total of 41 teams, and nearly 5,000 players participated in the registration and selection. The team names are very interesting, for example:

Yuzhong Peninsula team is based on the terrain characteristics of Yuzhong District;

Jiulong Xinyuan Panda team reflects the motorcycle industry and giant panda business card;

Named after food are Rongchang Luge Team, Chengkou Lao Bagu Team, etc.;

Named with cultural business cards are Dazu Stone Carving Team, Wushan Red Leaf Team, etc.

Everyone hopes to show their districts and counties through such an event. The slogans of each district and county are also very imposing.

It can be said that today is not only the football, but also the spirit and cohesion of various districts and counties in Chongqing. I believe that the game will be very exciting tonight!

The whole people participate in the event to drive cultural and tourism consumption

In the preparation stage, all teams step up training and actively prepare for the battle.

Wen Xing, a player of Yongchuan Great Wall Motors: I have been in contact with football since I was a child, and I am now working in another place. It is also very convenient to go back to my hometown. I came from Chengdu and took the high-speed train for only one hour. I train to come back at the latest shuttle bus in the evening, and I just take the earliest shuttle bus in the morning. The catering industry near the gala is also ready: the signature old hotpot, the new dishes on "Yu Chao" and the "Yu Chao" promotional poster are all hung in the store.

Owner of a hot pot restaurant: I believe our turnover will double.

Relevant departments predict that "Yu Chao" will enhance Chongqing's urban brand value, promote the heating of the cultural and tourism market, and drive consumption growth.

Du Xueyong, deputy director of Chongqing Sports Bureau: During the event, it is expected to drive consumption in catering, accommodation, transportation and other industries exceed 100 million yuan. Through cross-regional viewing, it is expected to bring tourism revenue to the competition districts and counties to more than 20%.
