Fan builds roof-top football field

Football fans in Henan province now have a unique place to play their sport.

A football lover in Zhengzhou city, Henan province, built a football field on the roof of a parking lot near an office building at a crossroad, attracting numerous football lovers to play on it.

Xu Cong has been a football fan since he was a child. Like most other fans, he is always desperate to find a football field in the concrete jungle of the city.

Covering an area of 900 square meters, the court is equipped with LED lights and iron fences surrounding it. It opens after 3 pm daily, as Xu does not want to disturb the people working nearby.
