Soccer 'dream school' in Ningxia aims at youth

A primary school in the Yuanzhou district of Guyuan, Ningxia Hui autonomous region, was recently awarded the title of Asian Games Football Dream School.

The title award is part of a public welfare project that aims to encourage participation in the Asian Games. Jointly sponsored by the 19th Asian Games Hangzhou 2022 Organizing Committee and the China Young Footballer Growth Fund, the project promotes the development of football — or soccer — among young people.

Wu Liang, vice-president of No 11 Primary School in Yuanzhou district said the school has four full-time physical education teachers and 12 part-time teachers and can provide students with standard, systematic soccer training.
