Chengdu.cn, the local news website of Chengdu, Sichuan Province, has reported that the Office of Chengdu Municipal Government has published its plan to brand Chengdu as a famous international city for sports events.

Just over half of these events are expected to be continental championships or higher-level events. Football, tennis, basketball, table tennis and outdoor sports are the major sports programs in this phase.
The second phase will run from 2021-2025, during which time Chengdu seeks to organize 29 sports events per year on average, with continental championships or higher-level events making up at least 60% of the 145 events to be held in this 5 year period. Chengdu will focus on football, basketball, ice hockey, swimming, cycling and marathons events in this phase.
When it comes to the 10-year third phase (2026-2035), the average number of sports events to be held each year will reach 38. The proportion of continental championships or higher-level events to be held in the city during the 10 year is expected to be 70%.
