Soccer fever hit Beijing as the inaugural Village Super League (VSL) Belt and Road Invitational wrapped up at the Fengtai Sports Center this weekend! 🌍⚽ The two-day event blended grassroots football action with vibrant ethnic performances, drawing cheers from a festive crowd.
Thrilling matches saw Guizhou’s Rongjiang Luohanguo dominate Sunday’s final against Shandong’s Zibo Fenghuo, clinching a 1-0 victory. Earlier, Beijing’s home team faced a tough loss, but the real winners were fans who enjoyed high-energy games and cultural showcases celebrating China’s diversity.
VSL Communications Director Ouyang Zhangwei teased future stops for the league’s Belt and Road Tour, aiming to spread the VSL’s unique mix of sports and tradition. “We’re taking this joy to more cities,” he said, highlighting the event’s role in cultural exchange.
