In the midst of the green mountains, a newly built green stadium is like a pearl inlaid, where a group of young women are sweating, training hard and showing their perseverance and fighting spirit. In the center of the stadium, a "blooming" white rose stands quietly, symbolizing the indomitable, never-ending spirit of the Chinese women's football team.
With the switch of a touching scene, we witnessed the birth of the "Rose Dream Stadium" jointly created by the Chinese Football Association, Alipay and the women's international soccer team in the women's soccer team of Wawu Primary School in Zhaojue County, Liangshan Prefecture, Sichuan Province.
Wago Primary School is located at the top of Daliang Mountain at an altitude of 2,700 meters, with a remote location and four seasons of clouds and mist, hence the name "Cloud Primary School". Here, the principal, Qubi Shigu, took the initiative to set up a women's soccer team in 2018, hoping to bring happiness and more possibilities of life to the girls in the mountains through soccer.
However, in the past few years, the children could only train on "handmade" clay pitches, which were not only prone to injuries, but also limited the realization of their soccer dreams.
Principal Qubi Shigu, along with teachers and parents, dug the dream court out of the wilderness with the sweat of one hoe at a time.
After learning about the plight of Wago Primary School, CFA, Alipay and the women's international soccer team decided to join forces and donate the "Rose Dream Stadium" to the school's women's soccer team. Despite the epidemic, weather and other difficulties, the stadium finally stood in the mountains.
Standing by the new stadium, Qubi Shigu was overcome with emotion, "This stadium has always been a dream for our entire school, and we will work harder than ever before."
"In the past, we probably had the worst training conditions in the mountains, but now that we have the Rose Dream Stadium, the training conditions are much better!" Yoshiniu Wusaku, a girl's soccer player from Wago Elementary School, said excitedly.
Yoshiniu Nusaku envisions the future, "The pitch is so soft that you can play even if it rains or snows. When it was first repaired, we all wanted to stay awake until dawn."
Qubi Shigu also sees hope: "The principals of four key middle schools have contacted me and asked us to provide children with soccer specialties. These dolls on the mountain really have a chance to get out of this mountain through soccer!"
