Peihong Primary School in Huangpu Town held a farewell party a few days ago for those students who were chosen to travel to Britain for football training. After selections and assessments, Wu Jialong, Luo Chengxi, and Xu Luo won the opportunity to receive a two-week youth football training from the UK's Leeds United Football Club.

Last July, the Huangpu authority signed a contract with Hong Kong (Zhongshan) Lourdes Limited, planning to introduce a group of football coaches from Leeds United. The upcoming training event is an extension of the "Foreign Football Coaches" public welfare campaign.

In recent years, Huangpu Town has been actively boosting "campus football" development, and it has since become the first "Guangdong Campus Football Demonstration County (District)" in Zhongshan. Huangpu Middle School, Peihong Primary School, and Wulan Primary School have been awarded the "National Youth Campus Football Characteristic School" title.
