Hello, Groenlo! During the 34th edition of the Marveld Tournament, a team from China is participating for the first time: the Chinese Football Boys. This talented team has traveled to Groenlo to attempt to achieve sporting success by competing against teams from the world’s top. Not only the football team has traveled to the Den Elshof sports park. Also, a group of supporters dressed in red. Even before the opening match took place, the stands filled with red jerseys and flags.

In their home country, the team’s performances are closely followed. Over 100,000 Chinese witnessed the Chinese team’s matches on Friday evening. They followed the performances via a live stream. Coach Lu Dong is very famous in China. He has a whopping 20,000,000 followers on social media.

For the Marveld Tournament, this is a beautiful confirmation that the participation of the Chinese Football Boys underscores how the tournament is developing globally in the promotion and development of youth football.
