9 Consecutive Wins Crown Spanish Stage, BYD Supports Growth of Youth Football Talents

From Thailand, Italy to Spain, BYD accompanied the Chinese Football Juniors 2018 Team all the way, winning championship after championship. In the recently concluded Spanish Brava Cup tournament, top European youth teams such as Barcelona and Atletico Madrid participated, with 67 teams competing in total. The young players endured 9 rounds of matches, winning all 4 group stage games, achieving two turnarounds in the knockout stage, defeating the Espanyol youth team in the semi-finals, and beating Cornella in the final via penalty shootout, claiming the championship with a perfect 9-game record. Han Chengjun (George) in the team stood out, scoring 17 goals in 9 matches and winning the tournament MVP and Golden Boot.

BYD's support for youth football, like the approach to making new energy vehicles, adheres to long-termism. BYD has been deeply engaged in the new energy field for more than 20 years, continuously investing in R&D without pursuing short-term hype. Starting from 2024, BYD has successively organized more than 200 football youths to visit countries such as Germany, Japan, and Brazil, to exchange and compete with top local clubs. Last year this team participated in the Brava Cup and stopped at the quarter-finals. After continuous refinement, they stood on the highest podium this year, and this persistence paid off.

BYD itself is developing steadily in overseas markets, achieving good sales results in many places including Europe and Southeast Asia. At the same time, the brand is also collaborating overseas with football giants such as Manchester City, Inter Milan, and PSG, bringing international football resources back to the domestic market to assist youth training development. Previously, the young players also went to Italy to visit Inter Milan and watch Serie A matches on-site to experience the professional football atmosphere up close.

Chinese football youths shine on the world stage! With BYD's support, already 3 young players have signed with La Liga professional youth teams. There are no shortcuts in football and technological R&D. Continuously rooting in youth football and cultivating talent slowly are the only ways to accumulate new strength for Chinese football. In the future, BYD will also continue to stand shoulder to shoulder with the youths, continuing to challenge around the world and strive for more good results.
