Under the contemporary education system, physical education is crucial to the cultivation of students' physical and mental health, team spirit and competitive awareness, and physical education can better promote the overall development of students. As a global sport, football occupies an increasingly important position in campus physical education. Although there have been studies focusing on university students' interest in learning football, there have been few studies systematically exploring its impact on learning satisfaction in university football courses. This study aims to fill this gap by conducting a questionnaire survey on 377 students at a university in Hubei through qualitative and quantitative methods, analyzing the data using SPSS software, and examining the reliability and validity of the questionnaire as well as the correlation between interest in learning football and satisfaction with learning in university football courses. The study found that university students' interest in football learning was significantly and positively correlated with their satisfaction with the football course, with the four dimensions of positivity of participation in football, performance in football matches, degree of participation in football, and independent inquiry learning football all having a positive effect on satisfaction. The study emphasized that enhancing students' interest in football plays a key role in improving learning satisfaction and teaching effectiveness in university football courses. Therefore, it is recommended that educators and course designers pay attention to cultivating students' interest in football in order to meet students' needs and improve the quality of teaching and participation. Meanwhile, school administrators should optimize physical education teaching strategies based on the results of the study to promote the progress of campus football education.
