The First Women's World Cup Review: The world of women's soccer finally ushered in a brand-new day in November 1991, when the first Women's World Cup was born under the strong encouragement of the then FIFA President, Mr. Avelange. China hosted the tournament, and a large number of enthusiastic spectators came to the stadium to cheer for the women's soccer team. The first World Cup, which brought together 12 teams, was an unprecedented success.
The second Women's World Cup: If the 1991 Women's World Cup in China was an innovation, the 1995 World Cup was a gathering of the highest caliber. The World Cup brought together 12 of the world's best teams to compete for a place in the World Cup itself, as well as a spot in the women's soccer tournament at the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta. Outside of the U.S., which is a direct qualifier as host of the Olympics, the other spots are held by new World Cup champions Norway, runner-up Germany, fourth-place China and Sweden, Denmark, Brazil and Japan.
Third Women's World Cup review: the last FIFA Women's World Cup of the 20th century opened a new chapter in the success of the sport and became a milestone in the history of women's soccer. The World Cup lasted three weeks, 320 of the world's best women's soccer players gathered in the United States, the scale of the tournament reached a new height, the game was also the first time to be arranged in the mega stadium, both in the field or to watch the live television broadcasts and listen to the radio broadcasts of the number of viewers than ever before.
The fourth Women's World Cup Review: The tournament was originally scheduled to be held in China, and due to the ravages of the SARS virus, the Chinese government temporarily gave up the right to organize it. The U.S., which accepted halfway through the tournament, managed to organize another excellent World Cup in just three months. This year's tournament did not have the largest crowd, but it was a very orderly and well-organized World Cup tournament, and although the U.S. and Chinese teams made surprisingly early exits, it was still a great tournament. It was also a very clean tournament, with no violence, no doping and no scandals. In response, FIFA president Mr. Blatter thanked both governments profusely.
Signature:
This is a look of hope: when those mentally handicapped lives open their eyes and come into the world, they hope for the kind eyes of their mothers; when they encounter frustration and difficulties in the process of growing up, they hope for people's encouragement and help; when they go into the society, they hope for the whole society's "equality, acceptance and tolerance" look.
This is a caring look: as everyone living in this society, we should give maximum care, concern and love to people with intellectual disabilities, and we have the responsibility to treat them equally, encourage them and help them integrate into society. The look of care we give will become a great motivation to support their self-confidence and self-improvement in life;
This is a look of concern: Shanghai, China, is going to host the 2007 World Special Olympics, which is not only an event for the mentally handicapped people all over the world, but also a great event to show the civilization of mankind. The whole world will focus on Shanghai, on the 2007 Special Olympics World Games, on the noble cause of Special Olympics, and on China, which is advancing towards a civilized society with the connotations of "humanism, humanistic, humane and humane"!
The men's World Cup began as early as 1930. But the notion of women playing soccer was a strange one in the eyes of many. It wasn't until the 1980s that women's soccer was able to make its initial inroads into the world.
The question of whether a women's World Cup should be organized was a major headache in the mind of then FIFA president Avilanchier. Rationally speaking, Avilanchier understood that all kinds of ball sports in the world started from men and then popularized to women. And in the end, women's sports in the same program tend to be more popular than the corresponding men's sports. FIFA, as the leading organization in international soccer, could not afford to be less strategic. However, Avilanje understood at the time that organizing a Women's World Cup was a big commercial risk. FIFA also could not afford not to consider its own short-term financial interests.
In this contradictory mood, FIFA in the 80's is, in China first to carry out an experimental "Women's World Cup". 1991, the first Women's World Cup was officially held in Guangzhou, China. FIFA was thrilled by the enthusiastic fans in China. They knew they had set a successful precedent.
The Women's World Cup began in 1991, when the first Women's World Cup was held in Guangzhou, China, from November 16th to 30th. In this cup, the U.S. team was invincible and ended up winning the trophy. The top three finishers in this year's tournament: the United States, Norway, and Sweden, with China winning only fifth.
The second Women's World Cup was held in Sweden in 1995. This year's Women's World Cup Swedish Ingrid? Johansson became the first female referee to enforce the championship final. The World Cup was dominated by the Norwegians, who scored 23 goals in 6 matches*** and only one goal by Denmark. The top three finishers in this year's Cup were Norway, Germany and the United States, with China listed fourth.
The third Women's World Cup was held in the United States in 1999, and the number of teams expanded to 16, with two new faces in the top eight: Brazil and Nigeria.
The last FIFA Women's World Cup of the 20th century opened a new chapter in the success of the sport and became a milestone in the history of women's soccer. With 320 of the world's best women's soccer players converging on the United States of America over a three-week period, the tournament reached a new level of scale, and for the first time, the matches were held in mega stadiums, with more spectators than ever before, both on the field and watching the live television and listening to the radio broadcasts. This is the most commercial of all women's World Cup matches, compared with other successful large-scale international tournaments, the level of commercial operation and commercial effects are also very prominent. The slogan of this year's World Cup is: "My sport, my future, look at my style".
World Expo is a special name, which is different from the trade fairs we often see nowadays. The World Expo is not for commercial purposes, but for the countries of the world to show their achievements in social, economic, cultural, scientific and technological aspects as well as the prospects for development. Its participants are mainly governments and other international economic organizations. Expositions in the present sense began with the World's Fair held in London in 1851, and have been held in 13 countries and 24 cities around the world so far. Hosting a World Expo will play a great role in the socio-economic development of the host country, and will also promote exchanges and cooperation among countries around the world. Therefore, every member country in the world is eager to host the World Expo.
The World Expo is roughly organized into two categories, one is called the comprehensive World Expo, strictly speaking, called the registration class World Expo. The other category is called specialized expositions, also known as accredited world expositions. The former involves a wider range of content, the scale is also relatively large, the exhibition time is often five to six months, the latter exhibition content is more specialized, such as the sea, environment, transportation, information, horticulture, China's 1999 World Expo held in Kunming is a professional exposition, the theme of horticulture. And the Expo 2010 that we are bidding for this time is a comprehensive exposition. According to the regulations of the International Exhibition Bureau, a comprehensive world exposition can be held once every five years since 1995, and one or two specialized expositions can be held in between the two comprehensive expositions. 2000 comprehensive exposition was held in Hanover, Germany, and the number of visitors reached nearly 20 million in five months, with 192 countries and international economic organizations participating in the exhibition. 2005 comprehensive exposition will be held in Kunming, Japan, and the theme will be horticulture. A comprehensive World Expo will be held in Nagoya, Japan, and a comprehensive World Expo in 2010 is being organized by a number of countries, including China.
The World Expo is not only a convergence of the latest civilization achievements and human wisdom of each era, but also the best opportunity for the host to mobilize the national strength and display its social, economic and cultural achievements and development prospects in an all-round way, which is a symbol of the country's strong power and an important sign of the improvement of its international status, and therefore has always been held by all countries in the world.
The World Expo 2010 is the first time in 151 years that China has won the right to host a world expo in a few developed countries, and the success of hosting the 2010 World Expo is the world's recognition of China's reform and opening-up policy, and of China's economic strength, which will surely have a huge impact on the overall progress of China's society and the quality of life of the Chinese people.
The 16th National Congress of the Party, which has just been concluded, proposed that in the next 20 years, China will build a moderately prosperous society in all aspects. In this journey, the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games and the 2010 Shanghai World Expo will play an important role as "midway gas station".
It is undeniable that the Expo is not as well known as the Olympics among the people of China. However, the role of the Expo in promoting a country's economic development is no less important than that of the Olympics.
In the international arena, known as "economic, cultural, scientific and technological fields of the Olympic Games" known as the World Expo, together with the Olympic Games, known as the world's two top events. Some data predicts that during the preparation and organization of the Olympic Games, the pull of China's gross domestic product will reach about 0.3 percent per year.
According to the plan, the direct investment in Shanghai for the construction of the Expo park will reach 3 billion U.S. dollars, while the investment in the extended areas of industrial restructuring, transportation, commerce, and the renovation of old districts driven by the event will be about 5 to 10 times of the direct investment. At the same time, the demand for the Expo will give rise to a large number of Sino-foreign joint venture financing, business, tourism, management and legal consulting and other professional services companies, domestic and foreign businessmen to participate in the market space is very large.
Some people have estimated that, after the success of Beijing's Olympic bid, it is expected that in the next few years, China will thus add 2 million jobs, and the economic growth rate will increase by an additional 0.3 percent per year. The Shanghai World Expo will last for six months, and the number of people attending is likely to be record-breaking.
According to authoritative estimates, if the World Expo is held in Shanghai in 2010, the number of visitors will exceed 70 million, which is expected to be the highest in the history of the World Expo. Experts believe that if the Shanghai World Expo ticket price of 170 yuan, ticketed visitors for 43 million people, the ticket revenue will reach 7.31 billion yuan; if the number of people to participate in the World Expo in 60% of the venue to dine once, to an average of 30 yuan per person consumption, catering revenue of 780 million yuan; estimated that 90% of visitors will be drinking beverages in the venue to an average person It is estimated that 90% of the visitors will drink beverages in the venue, with an average consumption of RMB 10 per person, the revenue from beverages will be RMB 390 million. It is estimated that 30% of the visitors will buy tourist souvenirs in the venue, with an average consumption of RMB 30 per person, the sales of souvenirs will reach RMB 390 million. Combining all the items, the direct sales revenue of the Expo tickets, catering and tourist souvenirs will be close to 9 billion yuan.
The World Expo will be "tourism consumption chain" of the formation of fuel, tourism and related industries play a huge role in pulling. According to the World Tourism Organization estimates, tourism every increase in direct income of 1 yuan, the related industry income can grow 4.3 yuan.
And, in addition to the direct and indirect benefits, the Expo will also bring Shanghai continuous and incalculable follow-up benefits. This can be referred to the historical experience: the Eiffel Tower is the 1889 World Expo to Paris left the "money tree", so that the relevant industries in France benefited endlessly. Shanghai is located at the mouth of the Yangtze River, the World Expo will produce a significant linkage effect around the organization, radiation, East China, and even drive the development of the national economy, the value of this will be difficult to estimate.
