According to media reports, in this World Cup, Chinese brands have become the largest sponsors of the Qatar World Cup, surpassing such iconic American brands as Coca Cola, McDonald&#8217;s and Budweiser.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-21976\" src=\"https:\/\/www.whatchina.cn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/China-and-the-2022-Qatar-World-Cup.jpg\" alt=\"China and the 2022 Qatar World Cup\" width=\"720\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.whatchina.cn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/China-and-the-2022-Qatar-World-Cup.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.whatchina.cn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/China-and-the-2022-Qatar-World-Cup-300x188.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_73 counter-flat ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.whatchina.cn\/china-and-qatar-world-cup.html\/#From_official_partners_to_sponsors_Chinese_enterprises_appear_in_Qatar_World_Cup\" title=\"From official partners to sponsors, Chinese enterprises appear in Qatar World Cup\">From official partners to sponsors, Chinese enterprises appear in Qatar World Cup<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.whatchina.cn\/china-and-qatar-world-cup.html\/#Multi_action_of_Chinese_brands_of_signed_national_teams_and_star_players_highlights_the_%E2%80%9Cdiversity%E2%80%9D_of_going_to_sea\" title=\"Multi action of Chinese brands of signed national teams and star players highlights the &#8220;diversity&#8221; of going to sea\">Multi action of Chinese brands of signed national teams and star players highlights the &#8220;diversity&#8221; of going to sea<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"From_official_partners_to_sponsors_Chinese_enterprises_appear_in_Qatar_World_Cup\"><\/span><strong>From official partners to sponsors, Chinese enterprises appear in Qatar World Cup<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Although the Chinese football team is still out of the World Cup this time, as a remedy, the figure of Chinese brands and Chinese elements have achieved a real sense of &#8220;omnipresence&#8221; in and out of the World Cup, and China has become the most important partner of Qatar&#8217;s World Cup.<br \/>\nChinese enterprises occupy four important seats in the official sponsorship list of the World Cup.

A 15 year agreement between Wanda Group and FIFA covers all World Cup events up to 2030. It is worth mentioning that this is also the second time Wanda Group has sponsored the World Cup in a row.

At the same time, it also has four football stars, including Ronaldo, Buckham, Wu Lei and Neymar, as brand spokesmen; NetEase Media Technology announced that it will become the exclusive network media partner of France and Argentina in China; Vantage shares signed a contract with the Portuguese national football team; Mengniu Dairy focuses on star players Messi and Mbape.<br \/>\nRelevant statistics show that Messi&#8217;s Argentine national football team has cooperated with at least six Chinese enterprises and become the &#8220;favorite&#8221; of Chinese enterprises. Chinese enterprises may be making some &#8220;predictions&#8221; about Messi&#8217;s winning the &#8220;World Cup&#8221; in his last World Cup through sponsorship.<br \/>\nAccording to the data of Tianyan Survey, among all Chinese enterprises sponsoring the World Cup, FMCG food, household appliances, automobiles and other industries are particularly fond of sponsoring the World Cup. Among them, there are many enterprises with strong registered capital. For example, TCL, an intelligent manufacturing technology enterprise that joined hands with Brazil in the World Cup, has a registered capital of 14.03 billion yuan, which can buy about 70 million World Cup commemorative soccer balls, enough to cover 1500 football fields.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-21972\" title=\"240_5904142_8efe8914be87a022d3b90d90f9a40615\" src=\"https:\/\/www.whatchina.cn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/240_5904142_8efe8914be87a022d3b90d90f9a40615.png\" alt=\"240_5904142_8efe8914be87a022d3b90d90f9a40615\" width=\"600\" height=\"510\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.whatchina.cn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/240_5904142_8efe8914be87a022d3b90d90f9a40615.png 600w, https:\/\/www.whatchina.cn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/240_5904142_8efe8914be87a022d3b90d90f9a40615-300x255.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><br \/>\nIn fact, the enthusiasm of Chinese enterprises to participate in the sponsorship of the World Cup has never diminished, and they have gained more attention and benefits through this world event. In particular, in the domestic downturn affected by the epidemic, more and more enterprises have begun to pay attention to the World Cup and event marketing in order to achieve greater benefits.<br \/>\nOn the other hand, in order to achieve rapid growth, enterprises should not only &#8220;brush their faces&#8221; frequently at world-class events, but also emphasize excellent technology and product strength. Like Hisense, Vivo and other brands that are sponsors, by sponsoring the World Cup, while becoming a first-line brand, they continue to invest and make efforts in technology research and development to make it possible for the brand to achieve high-end development. According to the data of Tianyan Survey, among the sponsors of the Qatar World Cup in 2022, including vivo, Great Wall Motors and other enterprises, they have obtained tens of thousands of technical patents, and sponsoring the World Cup will undoubtedly help them to move towards the fast lane of enterprise growth.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-21974\" title=\"240_5904142_73dafbefdb9bbe884ea3229bc2ad6f8c\" src=\"https:\/\/www.whatchina.cn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/240_5904142_73dafbefdb9bbe884ea3229bc2ad6f8c.png\" alt=\"240_5904142_73dafbefdb9bbe884ea3229bc2ad6f8c\" width=\"600\" height=\"509\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.whatchina.cn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/240_5904142_73dafbefdb9bbe884ea3229bc2ad6f8c.png 600w, https:\/\/www.whatchina.cn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/240_5904142_73dafbefdb9bbe884ea3229bc2ad6f8c-300x255.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><br \/>\nIt is true that the way Chinese enterprises cooperate with the World Cup is not limited to signing contracts with FIFA, teams and stars. It also includes the main stadium of the Qatar World Cup, the Russell Stadium, which was created by China Railway Construction International Group; The &#8220;small commodity team&#8221; of the World Cup is more from Yiwu, Zhejiang Province. From flags, football, autumn clothes, souvenirs, etc., &#8220;Yiwu made&#8221; accounts for almost 70% of the market around the Qatar World Cup.<br \/>\nIn fact, Chinese enterprises have created many precedents in sponsoring international large-scale events in recent years. Although sponsorship is always a &#8220;high-level&#8221; game for enterprises, which represents a large amount of investment, through such a stage as the World Cup, many enterprises have made Chinese brands more popular in the world through various diversified participation methods. In the long run, it will undoubtedly create a positive market environment conducive to the marketing of national brands and the overall process of Chinese brands going to sea.<br \/>\nBased on the dynamic big data of Chinese enterprises, through the inventory of China&#8217;s power hidden in the Qatar World Cup, Tianyancha Data Research Institute shows that international sports events will bring exciting business benefits to Chinese enterprises. In addition to the &#8220;high-end players&#8221; who sponsor the World Cup, other enterprises such as sports venues and facilities, equipment suppliers, operators, and digital products, electronic large screen fields, even snacks, beer Enterprises such as braised food have the opportunity to join in the marketing trend of the World Cup through appropriate marketing activities, and obtain more valuable product efficiency benefits besides enjoying every game carnival.<\/p>\n<div class=\"37c28470d9d6d3cb9ff74e663adb766a\" data-index=\"2\" style=\"float: none; margin:0px 0 0px 0; text-align:center;\">\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3594734025006597\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\n<\/div>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 2022 Qatar World Cup opened last night.
