The Chinese Super League (CSL) has seen significant fluctuations in attendance over the years, reflecting the league\“s growth and challenges. Initially, attendance was modest, but with increased investment in foreign players and infrastructure, numbers rose notably. For instance, in the 2018 season, average attendance reached around 24,000 per match, driven by high-profile signings and competitive matches. However, factors such as match-fixing scandals, economic downturns, and the COVID-19 pandemic have caused declines. Recent efforts to boost fan engagement through digital platforms and community events aim to stabilize and increase attendance figures, highlighting the league\“s ongoing evolution in the global football landscape. |
