Founded in Wuhan, China, Chinese Football blends the noisy legacy and resonant echoes of 1990s indie rock. Using a musical language that is simple yet intricate, smooth yet raw, they tell stories of passion, imagination, and defeat.Since releasing their self-titled debut album in 2015, they have garnered recognition both at home and abroad, becoming a staple in live house venues and major music festivals across China with their energetic and dynamic live performances.
Following two mini-albums inspired by the "game of life" (Here comes a new challenger! in 2017 and Continue? in 2019), Chinese Football released their full-length album Win & Lose in late 2022, completing their "Game Trilogy."
In 2023, after a three-year delay, the band expanded their touring reach beyond Japan, Korea, and Southeast Asia to Europe, completing a 35-day, 22-show European tour. This included an appearance at the UK's renowned math rock festival ArcTanGent. Step by step, they continue to fulfill their initial declaration: "Break out of Asia, go global, give it our all, even if it leaves us broken."
In 2024, Chinese Football embarked on a new "Scenery" world tour, which included 40 shows across China before returning to Southeast Asia, Taiwan, and their first-ever North American tour. Out of 12 North American shows, 10 were sold out. They were also invited to record live sessions with Audiotree and KEXP.
