Reforming Incentives: The Predicament and Advancement of Chinese Football Governance within the Dual-Tournament System

To promote the reform of Chinese football governance, the possibility of the new type of Dual-tournament System as an incentive mechanism was proposed to solve the problems of the development of Chinese football. The plan includes: ① The government should prioritize the supply of products with significant public attributes based on the clarity of property rights, in view of the new connotation of public and private attributes of Chinese football. ②Field construction, football environment and talent development are the main application scenarios for the new type of Dual-tournament System. ③ Based on football talent development systems and the provision of quasi-public goods such as youth tournaments, the reform path of the new type of Dual-tournament System shall be built revolving around the incentive compatibility between governmental and social stakeholders, and a permanent constraint mechanism with multi-sectoral collaboration.
