(原标题:Foshan workers ignited GBA with grassroots football)
In 1970s Sanshui, Foshan, there were workers who welded goals with workshop iron sheets, and played football on a food market's cement floor, becoming the city's early football memories.
Who would have expected that these workers, who "build fridges by day, set up offside traps by night," would turn amateur games into an 18-edition-long "Foshan La Liga" legend?
From February 6 to 9, Douyin Football Carnival, held at Yunxiu Mountain Stadium in Sanshui District, Foshan, drew 100k+ viewers. During the event, festive parades, lion dance, fish lanterns, and Yingge dance showcased Foshan culture in turn, boosting night market sales to 1 million yuan, a 4.5-fold increase compared to normal times.
From the initial friendly competition held in a factory to the event that wins nationwide fame nowadays, Sanshui football games reflect Foshan's manufacturing grit and people's warmth. Visitors come for the football, but stay for the charm of the city. Here, whether you're a worker, student or ICH inheritor, everyone is a star on the football field.
Foshan waits for your story.
