Huo Qigang said that the contents of the six National People’s Congress proposals submitted this year have been shared on social media. "I have also noticed that some false remarks and reports about my suggestions have appeared on the Internet recently. Here, I call on everyone to carefully screen the information to avoid being misled by false information."
According to the information previously shared by Huo Qigang, this year he A total of 6 proposals were brought to the meeting, including proposals for bidding to host the 2031 Women's World Cup, building a "Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Sports Bay Area", and realizing mutual recognition of sports coaching qualifications in the Greater Bay Area.
Regarding the proposal of "bidding to host the 2031 Women's World Cup", Huo Qigang said that the Women's World Cup held in Australia and New Zealand in 2023 will generate revenue of up to 570 million US dollars, second only to the 2022 Qatar World Cup, and has received widespread attention around the world. China has hosted the Women's World Cup twice, in 1991 and 2007, and has rich experience in hosting matches. The Chinese women's football team, which has won the World Cup runner-up, has been praised as a "sonorous rose" and continues to attract fans' support.
Based on this, Fok Qigang believes that now is the time for China to bid for such international competitions again. He suggested studying a tripartite alliance in the name of the Chinese Football Association (cfa), the Hong Kong Football Association (hkfa), and the Macau Football Association (mfa). Bid to host the Women's World Cup.
Since the 2034 Men’s Football World Cup will be hosted in Saudi Arabia, and based on the current model of hosting it in rotation across all continents, I am afraid it will have to wait until around the 1950s for the Men’s Football World Cup to return to Asia. Therefore, if the goal of "bidding to host such an international competition" as mentioned by Huo Qigang is taken as the goal, compared with the men's World Cup, the Women's World Cup is a more feasible choice in the near future.

Talking about the proposal to build the "Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Sports Bay Area", Huo Qigang said that the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area is rich in sports resources, has a superior hardware foundation, and is reintegrating cultural, tourism and sports resources, and will Establish new industrial formats. He also believes that the proposal to "realize mutual recognition of sports coaching qualifications in the Greater Bay Area" will effectively promote the two-way flow of sports talents, enable Hong Kong coaches to actively integrate into the overall development of the country, and expand the national sports talent pool.
In 2025, the 15th National Games will be hosted by Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao. This will be the first time that Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao will host a large-scale comprehensive sports event as a whole. Taking advantage of the opportunity of the National Games, Huo Qigang suggested that software and hardware resources should be well connected, system integration should be promoted, and the construction of the "Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macao Sports Bay Area" should be accelerated.
“We also need to maintain sports-related facilities, prepare for large-scale events, optimize visa-free transit arrangements, improve foreign guest accommodation policies, and facilitate tourists coming to China, so that overseas tourists can have a better experience when participating in major events in the Greater Bay Area. ."
Huo Qigang hopes that in the future, international events can be hosted in the name of the Greater Bay Area and create a business card for the Bay Area in international events.
