China's football team is not playing in the 2026 World Cup. But Chinese companies are helping the tournament in many ways.
Lenovo is a Chinese technology company. It gives computers and AI tools to FIFA. These tools help teams study games and make plans. All 48 teams can use them. The AI can answer questions and show useful information.
Hisense is another Chinese company. It makes TVs and screens for the World Cup. Chinese factories also make many fan products. They make footballs, flags, hats and horns. The city of Yiwu makes billions of yuan from these products.
Chinese companies now do more than make cheap things. They provide important technology for the tournament. This shows that a country can be part of big sports events in different ways.
