After football became popular in the Great Zhou, countries like Annan and Siam naturally followed suit and began playing football.
Once people in Annan and Siam started playing football, they found it more enjoyable than polo, and soon football became the most popular sport in their countries. However, their nobility still felt that polo was more fitting for their status.
Although the nobility of these foreign nations preferred polo, they would still send people to participate in football matches. However, they didn't care about winning or losing in football, nor did they hold any hope for victory. The results of the matches were unimportant to them; participation was what mattered.
Before the football and polo matches, Zhao Yao sent someone to put up a notice, stating that businesses could advertise at the competition venue, meaning they could purchase advertisement space.
