The 19th National Children's Soccer Tournament (Summer) Guiyang Branch and 2023 "Huaxi Cup" National Youth Soccer Summer Camp both opened in Huaxi district of Guiyang, the capital of Southwest China's Guizhou province, on July 25.

Some 300 young players from various teams across the country participated in the seven-day tournament.

The National Children's Soccer Tournament and Huaxi Cup are well-known brands of youth events in China. Since they were combined in 2018, their scale and influence have greatly improved, and they have been included in the children and youth sports-themed fitness series sponsored by the General Administration of Sport of China.

In addition to the tournaments, the organizing committee of the two events also led the participating teams to visit the famous tourist attractions in Huaxi district. While promoting youth soccer exchanges in various regions, they also enjoyed local beautiful landscapes and culture.
