2015 AIA China Youth Football Development Programme launched

2015 AIA China Youth Football Development Programme was lately launched in Beijing where heads of AIA China alongside delegations of Tottenham Hotspur FC and China Youth Development Foundation all attended the ceremony.

Additionally, Gao Leilei, formerly the goal keeper of China's national team also presented at the scene.

AIA China Youth Football Development Programme was launched to provide sporting opportunities for thousands of disadvantaged young people in rural China.

The programme aims to promote the development of youth football across China through coach education, the improvement of sports facilities and the increasing participation in rural areas amongst primary school children.

The 2014 AIA China Youth Football Development Programme was launched in Shanghai last year with the help of Hotspur's legends Ledley King and Steffen Freund, and coaches from the Tottenham Hotspur's Academy.

AIA China has been working on the development of China youth football, in which Tottenham Hotspur FC has also played a role since last October.
