今年5月，“蘇超”自開賽以來，就憑借“比賽第一，友誼第十四”“南哥之爭”“誰是十三妹”等熱梗，以及“泰州隊球員倒掛金鉤”“常州打進聯(lián)賽首球”“5架飛機助陣揚州主場”等精彩瞬間不斷出圈，讓網(wǎng)友津津樂道。比賽進入淘汰賽后，點球大戰(zhàn)接踵而來，上座紀錄不斷刷新，黑馬球隊一黑到底，懸念不斷，精彩依舊。

Drawing playful inspiration from both the English Premier League and the Chinese Super League, the Su Super League has emerged as a local phenomenon – packed with derby rivalries, drama and roaring stadiums.

從5月份持續(xù)至今的“蘇超”，帶動全國多地設立區(qū)域足球聯(lián)賽，讓群眾足球賽事遍地開花。這股“足球”熱潮也溢出賽場。江蘇省商務廳數(shù)據(jù)顯示，自5月蘇超開賽以來，全省主要零售商超在比賽期間實現(xiàn)銷售額116.4億元人民幣（約合16億美元），同比增長34.7%；人流量也上升31.2%。

The impact extends beyond the pitch.

Out-of-town tourists spent 13.96 billion yuan on cultural and leisure activities via UnionPay transactions, up 26.5 percent year on year.
