The China Football Association (CFA) has announced that it will launch a new mascot competition for the 2026 China's Premier League. The mascots will be chosen from among young and talented designers, artists, and athletes who have shown their creativity and passion for football.
The CFA hopes to create a unique and memorable mascot that represents the spirit of football in China. The mascot should embody the values of teamwork, sportsmanship, and fair play, as well as promote healthy living and positive social values through its design.
The CFA is inviting interested candidates to submit their designs by June 15th, 2022. All submissions will be reviewed and evaluated based on creativity, originality, and feasibility. The winning designs will be presented at the CFA's annual meeting in September 2022, where they will undergo final review and approval before being selected as the official mascot of the 2026 China's Premier League.
The winner of the mascot competition will receive a cash prize of RMB 50,000 (approximately $7,884 USD), along with other prizes such as scholarships, internships, and opportunities to work with famous designers or companies.
The launch of this mascot competition is part of the CFA's efforts to attract more young people to the sport of football. By promoting the use of mascots and engaging the youth in the process, the CFA aims to increase participation rates and improve the overall quality of football in China.
