Deep in football youth training, BYD has always adhered to long-termism. This adherence shares the same roots as the brand's car manufacturing R&D philosophy. Over twenty years rooted in power battery and new energy tracks, cumulative R&D investment exceeded 270 billion yuan, focusing heart on technology research, not relying on short-term gimmicks to gain attention. As Li Yunfei shared at the Fan Carnival: Short-term is just noise, long-term adherence is love.

There are no shortcuts to car manufacturing, youth training is the same. Since 2024, BYD has continuously promoted overseas exchanges for youth football, organizing over 200 participants to Germany, Japan, Spain, Thailand, Italy, Brazil, and compete with global top club youth teams for practice, the pursuit has never been temporary traffic. Last year Brava Cup, the team was eliminated in the quarter-finals; one year of deep training, this year successfully stood on the highest podium.

One championship is not the end. Whether tackling new energy technology or cultivating youth football, success has never been achieved overnight. Silent hard work, lasting effort, time will eventually reward those who persist. BYD will continue to guard the youth football dreams, accompany more Chinese young players to the world stage, and continue writing the green pitch glory belonging to Chinese youth.
