The "2025 Chinese Women's International Football Invitation Tournament," originally scheduled to be held on April 8, 2025, at the Kaohsiung Nanzi Football Stadium, has been canceled due to the venue not meeting the required standards. Although the venue manager, 柏文 Health Industry, has been actively working on improving the turf and conducting renovations, a consensus could not be reached in the end, leaving fans disappointed. The Nanzi Football Stadium is frequently used, making it difficult to simultaneously meet the needs of both domestic and international events, highlighting the inadequacy of Taiwan's football infrastructure. Relevant individuals are urging the government to strengthen the coordination and management of venue resources.

After multiple on-site inspections and meetings, 柏文健康 business proposed specific suggestions such as re-sodding the grass based on the venue conditions. However, it was still impossible to hold the international friendly match as scheduled. The "2025 Chinese Women's National Football International Invitation Tournament," originally set to take place on April 8, 2025, at 6:30 PM at Kaohsiung Nanzi Football Stadium, featuring the Chinese Women's National Team against the New Zealand Women's National Team, was ultimately canceled because the venue conditions did not completely meet the quality expectations for the match. After multiple negotiations, the decision was made to cancel the event. The news sparked disappointment among fans, but the host Nanzi Football Stadium had fully cooperated with the venue improvements, ultimately still failing to reach a consensus, leaving regrets behind.

Since the arrival of the New Zealand team, there have been several on-site inspections and meetings with Nanzi Football Stadium, where high-standard demands were raised regarding the grass quality and venue conditions, including suggestions for re-sodding the grass, leveling the ground, and sprinkling the grass. Therefore, Nanzi Football Stadium began a series of renovation works starting on April 1, even employing additional manpower during the Qingming holiday to enhance the venue quality in a short period to meet international competition standards. However, despite the intensive construction and repeated communication, both parties could not reach an agreement, and the New Zealand side ultimately decided to withdraw from the match, leading to the confirmed cancellation of the highly anticipated international invitation tournament. The venue expressed its deep regret.

As one of Kaohsiung's main football venues, Nanzi Football Stadium has continuously taken on the task of hosting various levels of competitions and training sessions. Since March, it has hosted a number of events and training, resulting in increased pressure on the maintenance of the grass and venue due to frequent use in a short period. Although the venue originally met domestic competition standards, facing the requirements of international matches and the constraints of a limited maintenance plan, the excessive use undoubtedly posed a challenge to maintaining quality, highlighting the bottleneck and long-term insufficiency of football infrastructure in Taiwan.

The venue stated that although it is not the organizer of the match, it has still fully cooperated with various improvement works, including re-sodding the grass, without any slackness, solely to provide players with a safe and ideal competition venue. Relevant individuals pointed out that the New Zealand team initially mistakenly believed that the venue belonged to the Football Association, indicating that there were ambiguities regarding the subject and responsibility of communication this time, further increasing the pressure on the venue.

With the vigorous development of football in Taiwan, the demand for venue resources has surged, exposing structural issues such as the limited number of football fields and heavy maintenance pressure. The case of Nanzi Football Stadium is a microcosm, illustrating the difficulty of balancing training and international match quality under high-frequency use. In this regard, the venue calls on the government and relevant sports authorities to promptly promote a venue resource coordination mechanism among communities, schools, and clubs, establishing effective cooperation and management models that not only ensure the quality of venue usage and maintenance but also enhance the safety of training and competition for players.
