ABSTRACT
Migrant workers are an integral part of China's urbanisation process and their large numbers are a mainstay of the country's population. Although China's rule of law system for the protection of the rights and interests of migrant workers in sports continues to improve, migrant workers lack the necessary channels to assert their collective sporting rights and express their sporting needs. As such, migrant workers are subject to pressure from economic, cultural, and identity discrimination which can intensify social conflicts within urban integration. Sports, as a healthy and equal way of living and communicating emotionally, not only promotes healthy human development, but also serves as a platform to facilitate communication between urban residents and migrant workers, promoting the identity of migrant workers and the harmonious development of society.
