Abstract:The integrated development of campus football and professional football is the key to cultivating reserve football talents and improving the overall level of football sport. Using research methods such as literature review method and logical analysis method， this study examines the challenges and directions of the integration of campus football and professional football in China from the perspective of symbiosis theory. Difficulties discovered： low correlation of symbiotic units， barriers at symbiotic interfaces， need for optimization of symbiotic environment， and imperfect symbiotic mode. Proposed a direction： to enhance the correlation of symbiotic units and eliminate obstacles to the integrated development of campus football and professional football； to break the barriers at the symbiotic interfaces and systematically promote the integrated development of campus football and professional football； to optimize the symbiotic environment and provide guarantees for the integrated development of campus football and professional football； to improve the symbiotic mode and provide continuous support for the integrated development of campus football and professional football.
