The East China city currently boasts 51 such institutions, as well as five special kindergartens, and the meeting marked the occasion by awarding the football education centers with commemorative plaques. The gathered officials also bestowed three particularly excellent football campuses with the title of expert centers.

According to the city's education bureau, a football featured school must host at least one football class every week contrary to the normal practice of offering football simply as an extra-curriculum activity.

Furthermore, the 50 featured football schools all employ at least one full-time football teacher- though outstanding institutions, such as Jiangyin No.2 Middle School, Yuhong Primary School and Yixing Experimental Primary School, hire up to four such specially trained individuals.

Since the inception of the efforts in 2015, the city has launched around 60 separate footballing initiatives targeting the improvement coaches, referees, management, and volunteering. A broad aim of the programs is to increase participation in the world's most popular sport and the authorities hope to hit 200,000 by the end of 2017.

The education bureau also used the meeting to outline its organization and funding strategy across the coming year with the city pledging 3 million yuan ($430,000) per annum on football related efforts.
