Youths from Beijing, Tibet, Xinjiang, Qing and Mongolia, form a team to play "Class Chao"

At 16:00 on July 14, with a whistle, the 2025 Beijing-Tibet and Xinjiang Qingming Middle School Students' "Rongzhu Football Competition" kicked off at the Capital Sports Academy. 95 students broke regional restrictions, formed a mixed team, and competed with football skills on the green field to enhance friendship.

"Return, stabilize", "Pay attention to fill up", "Good ball!"... Next to the stadium, the students gave a shoutout, and the voices were heard one after another, without the slightest smell of gunpowder, and it was even difficult to distinguish the supporters of the home and visiting team.

"I analyze that the advantage of Xinjiang players is good endurance! But Beijing partners are stronger in organizational ability and ball control skills." During the intermission, Alimujiang Abulaiti, a third-year junior high school student at Luopu County No. 2 Middle School in Xinjiang, and Beijing players who have just formed a team analyzed the tactics, "Let's work together and play to their specialties and you will definitely win!"

"This is the first middle school football competition held by five places in Beijing, Tibet, Xinjiang, and Qing and Mongolia." Guan Xing, director of the Venue Management Center of Capital Sports College, said that as one of the 2025 "Integrated Cast" Education Collaboration Series of Beijing, Tibet, Xinjiang, and Qing and Mongolia, this middle school football match innovatively broke regional boundaries and mixed teams with students from the five places according to different divisions of responsibilities such as forwards and guards on the field. In the 10-day football camp, 95 students formed the "Dream Team", "Future Team", "Advance Team" and "Inheritance Team" to live and train together. "The students know each other during the training and competition and build friendship through sweat. Everyone's goal is very clear, which is to carry forward the sports spirit of "faster, higher, and stronger."

In addition to the mixed team participating in the single round-robin competition, students from the five places will also form their own teams to hold a three-day friendly match. "Two different ways of competition not only reflect the integration of the five places, but also reflect the regional characteristics and technical and tactics of different teams." Guan Xing said that he hopes that students from the five places will learn tenacity in confrontation, experience the friendship of "you have me, I have you" in cooperation, communicate, integrate, and build friendship. The final whistle sounded, and the students' jerseys were soaked in sweat, and everyone started to communicate with each other without any satisfaction. "I feel very happy to be able to play football with friends who come from afar. During the training and competition, I saw the different styles of football skills of my teammates. They sprinted and fought hard on the court, which also inspired me to continuously improve myself." Ji Qianli, a third-year junior high school student at Haidian Foreign Language Experimental School, said that he made many good friends in the football camp. "Everyone is very enthusiastic and takes the initiative to share the food and culture of my hometown with me. My classmates and I also strive to be a good 'host'. During the visit to the 'Three Mountains and Five Gardens', we will explain the history of Beijing to our friends."

In addition to the football camp, this "Integration of Casino" education collaboration series also covers Art Week, Science and Technology Summer Camp, etc. More than 1,000 students planted the seeds of "national unity and one family" in their hearts through the diverse practices of classmates, co-research, competition and performance. "The students cherish this opportunity for learning and exchange." Qi Rulin, secretary of the Youth League Committee of Yushu (Haidong) Branch of the Affiliated Middle School of the Central University for Nationalities, said, "I am very happy to see that the students are becoming more and more intimate through a series of activities, and have in-depth cultural and emotional exchanges with each other."
