Champions Together: BYD Witnesses Chinese Football Youngsters Claim the Spanish Brava Cup

From September 12-13, 2026, exciting news was heard again on the green field: In the Spanish Brava Cup where top youth training teams gather, BYD's strongly supported China Football Youngsters 2018 team, with an undefeated record of 9 wins in 9 matches, claimed the championship throne! This event gathered top youth training echelons such as Barcelona, Atletico Madrid, Espanyol, with a total of 67 strong teams participating, rich in value.

Looking back at the championship path, the young players showed maturity and resilience beyond their years. In the group stage, they advanced like a thunder and bamboo, winning 4 consecutive victories. Entering the knockout stage, the young players exploded in adversity, staging two earth-shattering comebacks. In the semi-finals, they defeated the strong rival Espanyol youth team. In the final, they defeated Messi's Cornellà team 5:4 via penalty shootout, perfectly reaching the summit. Among them, core player George (Han Chengjun) showed stunning performance, scoring 17 goals in 9 matches, claiming both the event MVP and the Golden Boot award, showcasing the brilliance of Eastern youth.

From Thailand's "Asian Youth Championship Cup", to Italy's "Little World Cup", to today's Spanish Brava Cup, BYD has accompanied all the way, witnessing the process of Chinese football young players moving from Asia to the center of the world stage. In the silent moments without applause, BYD chose firm support and belief. Now, this group of spirited young people use one championship after another to break external prejudice, making the Five-Star Red Flag wave in the wind on the international stage.

Last year, BYD supported the young players to fight in the Brava Cup, although regretfully stopping at the quarter-finals, but this year they returned and successfully topped the list. This is the best interpretation of "long-termism". BYD's support for football youth training coincides with its philosophy in the field of car manufacturing R&D. Deepening into power batteries and new energy tracks for more than 20 years, cumulative R&D investment exceeds 270 billion yuan, BYD knows well that whether it is car manufacturing or youth training, there is no short cut. As Li Yunfei, General Manager of BYD Brand and PR Department, said: "Short term is just a bustle, long-term persistence is love." Calm down, accumulate strength to achieve a breakthrough, finally welcome the glory that belongs to you.

For this commitment of long-termism, since 2024, BYD has continued to assist Chinese football youth to "go out", organizing over 200 participants to go to Germany, Japan, Spain, Thailand, Italy, Brazil, etc., to exchange and learn with overseas top clubs. Not for short-term traffic, but only to let children temper and grow on a broader stage.

BYD continues to make efforts overseas, establishing cooperation with football giants such as Man City, Inter Milan, PSG, and appearing at international top events such as the European Championship and Copa America. At the same time, BYD does not forget to feed back these high-quality global football resources to domestic youth training. Early this year, BYD organized China Football Youngsters to travel to Italy to visit Inter Milan club, exchange face-to-face with stars, this event MVP Little George also participated. Under BYD's support, currently 3 young players have successfully signed for La Liga professional echelons (Li Haoyan joined Barcelona echelon, Liu Kaiyuan signed Villarreal echelon, Lu Mengyang signed La Liga echelon).

In the international market, with solid product strength, BYD has become the new energy sales champion in many countries and regions such as Europe, Southeast Asia, South America (including Spain, Italy, Thailand). Now, BYD is with its own "Overseas Champion" momentum, fully escorting Chinese Football Youngsters to expedition the globe. In the future, BYD will continue to join hands with the young players, on the green fields in various parts of the world, marking more championship moments belonging to Chinese football! Supporting youth football is supporting the future of Chinese football.
