Baiwen Health Business conducted multiple site inspections and meetings, and proposed suggestions such as relaying the turf, but still could not hold the international match between the Chinese Taipei Women's Football Team and the New Zealand Women's Football Team scheduled for April 8, 2025, as planned. Although Nanzi Football Field began active site renovations on April 1, the failure to reach a consensus between both parties ultimately led to the cancellation of the match, which disappointed fans. The high usage frequency of the venue has caused maintenance pressure, coupled with insufficient football infrastructure in Taiwan, making it difficult for the venue to meet the needs of both domestic and international events simultaneously. The venue calls for the government to strengthen the coordination mechanism for venue resources to improve the sports environment in the future.

The "2025 Chinese Women's International Football Invitation Tournament," originally scheduled to be held on April 8, 2025 (Tuesday) at 6:30 PM at Kaohsiung Nanzih Football Stadium, featuring the Chinese women's team against the New Zealand women's team, was ultimately canceled after repeated negotiations due to the venue conditions not fully meeting the expectations for match quality. The news caused disappointment among fans, but what is more noteworthy is that Nanzih Football Stadium, as the host venue, cooperated fully and made improvements to the facilities. In the end, a consensus could not be reached, leaving a sense of regret for not being able to fulfill the event.

Emergency construction maintenance was carried out during the Qingming Festival holiday, yet it still failed to meet standards. Since the arrival of the New Zealand team, multiple on-site inspections and meetings have been held with the venue, which proposed high-standard requirements regarding the grass and venue conditions, including suggestions for re-laying the grass, ground leveling, and watering the grass. As a result, Nanzih Football Stadium actively commenced a series of renovation projects starting from April 1, and during the Qingming holiday, staffing was increased for construction, hoping to improve venue quality in a short time to meet international competition standards. However, despite intensive construction and repeated communications, both parties could not reach a consensus, and the New Zealand side ultimately decided to withdraw from the match, leading to the cancellation of this highly anticipated international invitation tournament. The venue expressed deep regret.

The tight venue resources and high usage frequency became key factors. As one of the main football venues in Kaohsiung, Nanzih Football Stadium has always been responsible for hosting various domestic competitions and training tasks. Since March, it has hosted the AFC Challenger Cup, A-level coaching clinics, training for both men's and women's football teams, and covered the maintenance of the international competition venue. The intensive use in a short period has significantly increased the pressure on grass and venue maintenance. Although the venue originally met domestic competition standards, the excessive use and limited maintenance schedule under international competition requirements undoubtedly posed challenges for maintaining quality. This reflects the bottleneck and long-term inadequacy of Taiwan's football infrastructure.

The venue made every effort, yet could not reverse the regret. The venue representatives stated that although they are not the main organizers of the match, they still acted with responsibility and fully cooperated, including re-laying the grass and undertaking various improvement tasks, without any negligence, in order to provide players with the safest and most ideal competition venue. "We did indeed do everything we could; we feel very regretful about the inability to hold this match, just like the fans," noted a relevant person. It was pointed out that the New Zealand team initially even mistakenly thought that the venue was part of the Football Association, highlighting the ambiguity regarding the main communication entities and responsibilities, which increased the pressure on the venue.

Looking forward to a more robust venue coordination mechanism in the future, establishing a sports-friendly environment. With the vigorous development of football in Taiwan, the demand for venue resources continues to increase, exposing structural problems such as the limited number of football fields and high maintenance pressure. The case of Nanzih Football Stadium exemplifies this issue, where frequent use makes it difficult to balance training and match quality for international competitions. The venue calls on the government and sports authorities to promote coordination mechanisms for venue resources among communities, schools, and clubs as soon as possible, establishing effective cooperation and management models, ensuring venue use and maintenance quality, and facilitating the safety of players' training and competitions.
