Nowadays, playing soccer, joining a professional team and playing more games has become the goal of countless children in Northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. In recent years, the relevant departments in Xinjiang have given strong support to the development of soccer in areas such as funding and policies. Local primary and secondary schools have offered courses for students, and soccer clubs have been actively set up in various places, creating a broader space for the development of outstanding football talent and providing children with a healthier and happier childhood.
Global Times reporters visited the Kashi Prefecture's Pamir Soccer Club and the Shache County No. 2 Middle School, where the growing number of opportunities for students to learn soccer skills brings them the simplest pleasures and the purest ideals.(Photo:Li Hao/GT)
