After three days of intense, hard-fought matches, the two visiting Russian teams stood out among all competitors thanks to their solid technical foundation, mature on-pitch mentality and impeccable team coordination. They claimed multiple group championships and achieved remarkable feats:

FC Moscow Victory claimed championships in U8, U12 and U13 divisions, crowned triple champions and shining brilliantly throughout the tournament.

FC Krasnoyarsk secured the U10 group championship and reigned supreme on the green pitch.

The tournament delivers far more than championship glory for young athletes. To honor every player’s hard work and passion, a fun interactive session was arranged at the closing stage. Young footballers and their head coaches staged an exhibition match side by side.

Competitions aside, the organizing committee arranged a series of cultural field trips for all children to experience unique Chinese landscapes and profound cultural heritage:

Cruise along Haihe River in Tianjin: Glide across the river under evening breezes, admiring dazzling riverside neon lights and stunning urban nightscapes that left an unforgettable impression on foreign teenagers.

Hike Huangyaguan Great Wall: Walk along thousand-year-old ramparts, touch weathered bricks bearing traces of history, and experience the profound 2,000-year-old Chinese civilization as well as the magnificent scenery of China’s vast land.

This May Day football tour in Hebei in 2026 means far more than a simple football competition for football teams. It brings thrilling championship victories, heartwarming moments of coaches and players competing together, sincere kindness from foreign friends, as well as cross-border cultural exchanges and broadened horizons.
