Investigating Determinants for Sustainable Development of Chinese Youth Campus Football: A Scoping Review

The purpose of this study was to investigate the influencing factors for sustainable development of Chinese youth campus football. The research adopted the scoping review method to search and screen the Chinese core journal literature in China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang Data and VIP Database from 2016 to 2024. Based on the PRISMA-ScR checklist, 53 articles were finally included for the study. The bibliometric analysis results indicated that the research fervor within this specific field had been showing a declining tendency. Topic clustering identified 5 themes such as innovative practice of sports-education integration, modernization of the governance system, reform and development path, reality dilemma cracking, health promotion and long-term development. The results show that the sustainable development of campus football for Chinese teenagers requires further strengthening the innovative practice of integrating sports and education, standardizing the modern governance system, actively exploring the path of reform and development, improving the allocation of funds and infrastructure, strengthening the collaborative support system among families, schools and communities, and improving the competition system. These provide more continuous impetus for the high-quality development of campus football in China.
