Today, although still less developed than coastal regions, Zhidan is well-known nationwide for its success in grassroots football development. Only around 60 people played football on the dusty ground in the barren reaches of Zhidan nearly 20 years ago, when China qualified for the FIFA World Cup for the first and only time. Today, that number has risen to 6,000, and 32 modern artificial turf pitches have been built in the Shaanxi province county that 160,000 people call home.
