Besides the Chiense national team, Wanda said it would invite "first-class national teams from Europe and the Americas," so that the Chinese team would learn from playing against high-quality opposition.
Wanda, owned by one of China's richest men Wang Jianlin, last year acquired a 20-percent stake in the Spanish football club Atletico Madrid and in March became one of FIFA's main sponsors.
