How to use 球迷

球迷 refers to a fan of ball sports like soccer, basketball, or tennis, and is often combined with the sport or team name. Example: 他是一个足球迷。(Tā shì yí ge zúqiúmí.) He is a soccer fan.

球 (qiú) means ball, and 迷 (mí) means to be lost in or obsessed with something. A 球迷 is someone so lost in ball games that they forget everything else.

Common mistake: Learners sometimes use 球迷 for fans of singers or movies, but for those you use 粉丝 (fěnsī) or words like 歌迷 (gēmí) and 影迷 (yǐngmí). Also keep 迷 in the second tone, mí, not the third tone mǐ as in 米.
