Dear All,

The first Great Wall Cup of Beijing international youth football/soccer tournament which will be held in July 25 to 31, 2010 in Beijing, China. On behalf of Beijing Football Association, I hereby welcome all youth football players from all over the world to join in the Great Wall Cup of Beijing tournament to experience the exciting event and the vibrant city after 2008 Beijing Olympic Game.

Beijing is an ancient city full of culture and history. With the successful Olympic Game held in 2008, modern Olympic elements have also be absorbed by the city. To host an international youth football/soccer tournament will help the development of the youth football, and to create more cooperation opportunities between countries. The Great Wall Cup of Beijing is also a window to promote the traditional Chinese culture, and to enhance the influence of Beijing as an international sports metropolis.

We sincerely looking forward for your participation, and enjoy the wonderful and competitive games. We wish the first Great Wall Cup of Beijing a success and all participants enjoy the event!
