Last Sunday, the Shanghai International Youth Football League finally got underway! All 12 teams from the Shanghai Hongqiao German School were in action on opening day played in summery weather conditions.

All teams, from U7 to U14 level, will take part in the league until the summer. The coaching duo of Volkan Özkan and Philip Friedrich were happy with their teams' performances. The young players were no doubt spurred on by the encouraging presence of their parents on the sideline. 

Next Saturday, we will be hosting a FUNino tournament in which the U7 and U8 teams will go up against their counterparts from the Shanghai Yangpu and Shanghai Huya German Schools.
