16-year-old boy hosts the first football challenge in Yangchun City, Guangdong Province, aiming to make more people fall in love with football
2024-10-16
Recently, an unprecedented football challenge was held at the Yangchun Sports Center Football Stadium. The competition features two challenges: the "Strongest Yangchun Overpass King" and the "Most Accurate Yangchun Shooter King". Over 220 eligible players participated in the competition, receiving widespread attention and praise from all sectors of society. But little known is that the initiator and organizer of this event is actually a high school student named Cai Mingwei. Cai Mingwei, residing in Guigang Town, Yangchun City, is currently a first-year high school student at Yangchun Second Middle School. He developed a strong interest in football when he was in fourth grade of elementary school. "We are just a county-level city, and we don't pay as much attention to football as basketball games." Cai Mingwei recalled that in the recruitment information of sports events published on WeChat official account, players in basketball games can always be filled quickly, and the event scene is always in full swing; Although football matches are often held, there are very few participants. I really hope to change this situation. Therefore, I want to initiate some charity football matches to see if we can encourage more people to participate and change their perception of football He said. On February 21 of this year, the Yangchun Committee of the Communist Youth League published an activity on the WeChat official account, which attracted Cai Mingwei's attention - League organizations, League members and young people at all levels in the city can actively sign up to submit their own activity plans, and have the opportunity to obtain financial support from the Municipal Youth League Committee, helping everyone realize their dreams. He was very excited and immediately began to take action, preparing his first activity plan in life. At that time, Cai Mingwei was still in his third year of junior high school. In school, whenever he had new ideas, he would first record them on paper; After returning home, search for information online to refine the current popular football challenge projects, as well as the arrangement of venues, personnel, and funding. Although he spent a whole month completing this plan, he still felt a bit uneasy when submitting it, feeling that the hope of success was not high. One day in early April, the long-awaited hope finally received a response. The Communist Youth League Committee called Cai Mingwei and invited him to attend the project pre selection meeting. At the meeting, the young man elaborated on the reasons for holding the challenge, the specific implementation plan, the influence of the activity, and the possibility of success, which gained unanimous recognition from everyone and ultimately won a sponsorship of 15000 yuan from the Communist Youth League Committee. However, before Cai Mingwei could be happy, new difficulties followed one after another. The competition planned to recruit more than 200 participants, but after the recruitment information was released, there were many views, but the number of actual registrations was very small. He had to mobilize his classmates and friends around him to help promote it. In addition, coordinating venues, recruiting referees, and creating posters are all challenging in every aspect. Fortunately, through the unremitting efforts of Cai Mingwei, Yangchun Football Association and other parties, these issues were ultimately resolved properly. The first Yangchun Football Challenge was finally successfully held recently. In the selection of competition events, Cai Mingwei incorporated many of his own ingenious ideas. Previously, the football matches held in Yangchun City were mostly team football matches with 8 players. This time, he decided to try a different format. 'Passing King', 'juggling', and 'shooting' are all popular forms of challenge nowadays, but 'juggling' requires high technical skills from participants. He said that considering that holding such a football match is mainly to promote football and increase people's understanding and love for football, 'juggling' was ultimately not included in the competition. The relevant person in charge of the Yangchun Committee of the Communist Youth League said, "We hope that through this football challenge, more young people can feel the passion and fun of football, step into the green field, and pursue their dreams. At the same time, we are also committed to building a broader stage for young people's entrepreneurship and innovation, helping them pursue their goals and dreams, and fully leveraging the role of the Communist Youth League as a bridge in serving enterprises, youth, and grassroots work." Now, Cai Mingwei is a member of the Yangchun No.2 Middle School football team and is actively preparing with his teammates for the upcoming Yangjiang Sports Games. Personal strength is limited, and it would be even better if there were official support and promotion. Thank you very much to the Communist Youth League Committee for providing such an opportunity for us to realize our football dreams. If there are similar activities next year, I will definitely continue to actively participate
