According to Sports Plus, at the coach meeting of China Football Association held on February 9th, 65438, Kun Wang bluntly said that the low salary of women's football players affected the development of women's football. Later, some media suggested setting a minimum wage for women football girls, such as a minimum annual salary of 400,000.
Is the minimum wage a good medicine for women's football treatment? A woman in the women's football industry told the newspaper that at least at this stage, it is still very difficult to realize this idea.
Wages have gone up, and the "gap between rich and poor" is not small.
Women's football girls are often compared with men's football by fans, and the conclusion is simple and clear-women's football scores are better, but the money they earn is many times worse than men's football.
For women football players, this situation is undoubtedly embarrassing. However, in the past two years, the low treatment of women's football players has improved, such as Dalian Quanjian Women's Football Team.
According to media reports such as Dalian Evening News, after Quanjian Group moved in, players' income increased significantly, and the monthly salary of 20,000 yuan was no longer a "dream". In addition, the team's winning bonus has reached 300,000 yuan per game.
Similarly, there is the Shanghai Women's Football Team. Zhao Ceng, the general manager of the team, told this reporter that in the just-concluded women's super season, the team's prize money for winning the championship has also increased from the previous 80,000 yuan to 300,000 yuan. According to this standard, the Shanghai Women's Football Team, which has won 9 games this season, has at least a winning bonus of 2.7 million yuan.
This kind of income is undoubtedly higher than Wang Kun's "several thousand dollars" per month. But at the same time, we have to admit that while the income of some players has increased, there are still many women football players who are eating "youth meals" with meager wages.
According to "Football News" and other media reports, among the 16 teams in the Super League and the Women's League, there are 4 teams with an average monthly salary of less than 5,000 yuan, 9 teams with an average salary of 5,000 yuan to 10000 yuan, and only 3 teams with an average salary of more than 10000 yuan.
That is to say, although in the women's football league, the monthly salary of over 10,000 yuan is already the "top salary" level, only teams with less than 19% can do it.
With money and no money, it all depends on sponsors.
It is not difficult to see that there are powerful "rich men" behind the women's football team with relatively high treatment level in China.
For example, Xu Chen, the chairman of Shanghai Women's Football Team, revealed in an interview that Guotai Junan Bai Yong Investment Management Co., Ltd. has invested 30-40 million yuan every year, resulting in an annual salary of 700,000-800,000 yuan for first-line players and 300,000-400,000 yuan for second-line players.
And another "local tyrant" Dalian Quanjian women's football team, its declared season investment also reached 50 million yuan.
At present, whether the treatment of women football girls can be improved often depends on the courage of the "golden master".
For example, before the sponsorship of Quanjian Group, Dalian women's football team was exposed to unpaid wages. In an interview with Peninsula Morning News, Ma criticized the team for "making people work without paying". However, after Quan Jian entered the office, the problem of money was solved immediately.
Another example is the Shandong women's football team. Before the start of the 20 16 season, former coach Yin Tiesheng revealed to Qilu. com. The salary of these players is only about 3000 yuan. However, with the support of sponsors in the new season, former women's football international Bi Yan said that Shandong women's football has become one of the better-paid teams in China.
In addition, there is a Beijing women's football team with similar "luck".
According to the Beijing Evening News, Beijing women's football team has always been short of money, low in treatment and serious in brain drain. However, after the end of this season, the Municipal Sports Bureau and Beijing Control Group established the Beijing Control Phoenix Football Club in a * * * mode, with an estimated investment of 20 million yuan in 20 17. Next season, the team's "money shortage" is expected to be alleviated.
The market is not enough, and the minimum wage standard is still difficult.
At present, it seems that it is the most direct and effective, or even the only way for domestic women's football team to live a "good life".
However, relying on sponsors to earn income often leads to another problem-once sponsors lack stability, players' income will fluctuate greatly and there is no guarantee.
Because the league is not really professional, and at the same time it is trapped in problems such as attention and commercial development, the team's self-hematopoietic function is insufficient. Similar measures to establish a "minimum wage standard" are still difficult, at least for now.
An insider close to the Football Association told this newspaper that the uneven development of women's football in China is one of the biggest obstacles.
"At present, the development of women's football in China is not balanced, and there is a big gap between the rich and the poor. Most of the teams belong to the local sports bureau or the military system. Most of the team's funds come from the support of the Sports Bureau. Apart from the investment in league travel and youth training, at least at this stage, it is very difficult to unify the standards and raise the basic salary of women's football players. "
However, he also told the newspaper that the Football Association will consider following the example of the Super League in the future and setting up a better access mechanism in the women's football league. "Wages and bonuses will be part of the assessment."
Of course, the "coldness" of the domestic women's football market is undoubtedly one of the reasons for the low income of women's football players. After all, many times even the regular ticket income is a drop in the bucket.
In the just-concluded women's super season, teams from Shandong, Dalian and Changchun even entered the stadium for free. Under such market expectation, it is undoubtedly not so easy to attract enterprises to "throw money".
"The women's football market is limited, and it is still not a matter of revenue. However, women's football has long been a healthy, positive and positive image, and the national women's football team has achieved excellent results. These are the advantages of attracting enterprises to invest in women's football. " People in the women's football industry told this reporter.
"At present, it can only be said that the living conditions of women's football have been improved to a certain extent, which is not enough to comprehensively improve the treatment of women's football."
