African team joins village super league in exchange goal

GUIYANG — A friendly soccer match between the Liberia Community Football Team and the Liaoning Donggang Football Team drew widespread attention at the Village Super League in Rongjiang county, Guizhou province, earlier this month.

It was the first time for an African team to play in the league, which is known as the cunchao in Chinese.

The league has started to gain popularity in African countries including Benin and South Africa. The connection between the cunchao and Africa has led to the beginning of a friendship between the small village and the African team and since this year, international matches have been held at the Village Super League stadium.
