A public-benefit event was held in SIP Xinghai Primary School on Dec 4 as a prelude to the 2025 CFA Cup final scheduled at Suzhou Olympic Sports Centre on Dec 6. Combining football donation and interactions with professional football players, the event sparked the students’ enthusiasm for football.

The public-benefit event was part of the Chinese Football Association’s “Seed Program” which, initiated in 2014, has brought over 40,000 footballs to more than 2,100 primary and middle schools and training centers nationwide, boosting countless youngsters’ zest for the sport of football.

During the event, the school’s students received tickets for the 2025 CFA Cup final, along with training and winter gear to support their football dreams.

The two teams to compete in the CFA Cup final presented signed flags, as a token of passing on the spirit of football to the students. The professional football players and coaches also provided guidance for students in the later ball control training and football match.
