It is interesting to analyze why Chinese brands have jumped into Euro 2020 with so much investment, because at Euro 2016 only Hisense was the sponsor. As for the famous brands from the United States that should have no name.
The organizing committee of the European Football Federation (UEFA) clarified that UEFA does not have any special strategy in attracting Chinese brands to support it. But it is open to all brands that can create awareness with people around the world.
It’s not just UEFA and football that benefit. But these Chinese sponsors have had quite a bit of success pouring money into Euro 2020.

But seeing that doing so did not make the Chinese national football team stronger. And various clubs Was facing financial problems until the team was disbanded enough. Chinese Super League therefore gave birth to a policy to set the wage ceiling of the players.
With a population of more than 1.4 billion people in China today. This makes it a huge market for football. It is said that there are 200 million Arsenal fans in China. Three times the total population of England.
