"It's so beautiful! This stadium has been the dream of our whole school, and we will work a hundred times harder than before!" Qubi Shigu, the principal of Shiji Youmeiwu Primary School in Zhaojue County, Sichuan Province, exclaimed as he stood by the school's newly built soccer field.
Recently, by the Chinese women's football and Alipay jointly for the Wago elementary school women's football donated the second Chinese women's football theme stadium - "Rose Dream Stadium" was officially completed: the green stadium in the mountains surrounded by particularly dazzling, the center circle "bloom" white roses also represents the Chinese women's football tenacity and hard work, never give up spirit. "The white rose in the center circle represents the spirit of Chinese women's soccer team which is tenacious, hardworking and never give up.
Located in the Daliang Mountains at an altitude of 2,700 meters, Wago Primary School is geographically remote and surrounded by clouds all year round, hence the name "Cloud Primary School". The principal, Qubi Shigu, formed a women's soccer team in 2018, hoping that through soccer, these girls in the mountainous areas will be happy and have more possibilities in life. Currently, the school's girls' soccer team has 38 players and trains 3-4 times a day starting with morning exercises. For the past few years, the children have been training together on "handmade" dirt pitches, often with injuries.
CFA, Alipay and the women's international soccer team decided to donate a "Rose Dream Stadium" to the campus women's soccer team, and we also hope that more people can participate in it to help the soccer dreams of these mountain girls. With the opportunity of the East Asia Cup in July, CFA and Alipay launched the "Send a Rose to Women's Soccer" public service activity, calling on users to cheer for women's soccer by lighting up digital roses in a special way to build the Rose Dream Stadium. Within a week, users lit more than 600,000 roses on Alipay, sending encouragement and blessings to the Chinese women's soccer team for the East Asian Cup, and at the same time contributing to the village soccer girls training on the mud!
After many unfavorable factors such as epidemics and weather, this Rose Dream Stadium was finally built on the mountain. "In the past, we probably had the worst training conditions in the mountains. Now we have the Rose Stadium. I think our conditions are the best in China!" Principal Qubi Shigu excitedly revealed, "The principals of four key middle schools have contacted me to offer us children with soccer specialties. These dolls on the mountain really have a chance to get out of this mountain through soccer!"
Wago Elementary School girls' soccer player Yoshiniu Wusaku said, "This field is so soft that you can play even if it rains or snows. When it was first repaired, we all wanted to stay awake and play until dawn!"
It is understood that the Chinese women's football theme stadium - "Rose Dream Stadium" The project was jointly initiated by the Chinese Football Association and Alipay, hoping to convey the spirit of struggle of the Chinese women's football team, encouraging more girls to pursue the dream of soccer, and more possibilities for life.
