We have established strong partnerships with local and overseas clubs, offering multiple routes to top-level football. Our players have the best opportunities to prove themselves and improve, always with a clear goal in mind.

Long-Term Training Plan
Our comprehensive 10-month program includes top-quality training courses, weekly league matches, and participation in local and international competitions. This extensive schedule ensures continuous development and exposure to high-level football.
-
Ensuring Weekly Training and Matches
Our elite teams train at least twice a week, with a match every Sunday. This schedule ensures that players receive ample training and match experience, continually improving their skills. We note that in Europe and other football-advanced countries, the average number of high-quality matches per year is 30-50. Many clubs struggle to meet this standard, so we ensure that each team reaches this number to provide sufficient match experience for the players.
-
Overseas Travel and Competitions
Our elite teams regularly participate in regional and international youth tournaments, such as the JSSL7'S Cup and the China Football Talents 2034 Cup. These international competitions provide valuable experience and exposure for our players, enhancing their match skills and adaptability to different environments. These competitions are an integral part of our development plan.
Additionally, we organize annual trips to China for international matches, allowing our players to exchange experiences with local clubs and immerse themselves in different football cultures. We also plan to participate in well-known tournaments in Japan and Spain, such as the Tokyo International Youth Cup and the Mediterranean Cup, further expanding our players' international perspectives. By categorizing tournaments from local friendly matches to the highest-level global competitions, we establish a clear development pathway for our players and continuously monitor their progress. During these trips, we ensure the presence of professional medical teams to guarantee the players' safety and health.
Note: The China Football Talents 2034 Cup is a prominent youth tournament in China, aimed at identifying and nurturing future football stars with a vision towards the 2034 World Cup.
