On January 31st, the Qingdao International Soccer League, initiated and organized by the Great Football United, successfully concluded after over two months of friendly exchange and intense competition across ten rounds. The event successfully brought together four teams composed of international friends residing in Qingdao—including GFU and FC WAKANDA—as well as two local grassroots teams from Qingdao, creating a multicultural gathering on the green field in the name of soccer.
1月31日，由伟大足球国际联盟发起并组织的青岛国际足球联赛，在经过两个多月、十轮的友好交流与激烈角逐后，圆满落下帷幕。本次赛事成功汇聚了包括“GFU”、“FC WAKANDA”等四支由驻青国际友人组成的队伍，以及两支青岛本土草根球队，以足球之名，共筑了一场跨越文化的绿茵聚会。
At the closing ceremony, guests including Yang Pengming, Chairman of the Qingdao Football Association; Tian Weiguo, Director of the Qingdao Football Sports Management Center; and Chen Gang, Vice Chairman of the Qingdao Football Association, presented awards to the winning teams and players. In the end, the Qingdao Daqi Soccer Team claimed the championship with outstanding performances, while "GFU" and "FC WAKANDA" secured second and third place, respectively.
闭幕式上，青岛足协主席杨鹏鸣、青岛足球运动管理中心主任田卫国、青岛足协副主席陈刚等嘉宾为获奖球队及球员颁奖。最终，青岛大齐足球队凭借出色表现夺得冠军，“GFU”与“WAKANDA FC”分获二、三名。
Mr. Sandor, founder of the Great Football United and initiator of the event, stated, "There are many international friends living in Qingdao who are passionate about soccer, but they often find it difficult to participate in local amateur matches. We launched this league to create a pure and open soccer platform where everyone can find a sense of belonging, connect through the sport, and experience Qingdao's inclusivity and warmth."
赛事发起人、伟大足球俱乐部创始人桑德表示：“在青岛生活着许多热爱足球的国际友人，但他们往往难以参与到本地业余比赛中。我们创办这个联赛，就是希望搭建一个纯粹、开放的足球平台，让每个人都能在这里找到归属感，以球会友，感受青岛的包容与热情。”
As a soccer youth training institution rooted in Qingdao for over a decade, the Great Football United has always adhered to the philosophy of "soccer without borders." From initially serving primarily expatriate families to now attracting hundreds of local Qingdao children to participate in European-style training every week, the club has consistently strived to promote exchange and enrich community sports life through soccer.
作为扎根青岛十余年的足球青训机构，伟大足球始终秉持“足球无国界”的理念。从最初主要服务外籍家庭，到如今吸引上百名青岛本地孩子每周参与欧洲体系训练，俱乐部一直致力于通过足球促进交流、丰富社区体育生活。
This league is an extension of this philosophy—it is not only a stage for competition but also a bond of friendship. While showcasing their skills on the field, the teams also highlighted the distinct soccer styles and cultural characteristics of different countries, making this winter exceptionally warm and vibrant through the spirit of soccer.
本次联赛正是这一理念的延伸——它不仅是竞技的舞台，更是友谊的纽带。各支球队在切磋球技的同时，也展现了不同国家的足球风格与文化特质，让这个冬天，因足球而格外温暖、欢动。
We congratulate the Qingdao Daqi Soccer Team on winning the championship and extend our sincere gratitude to all participating teams, players, referees, volunteers, and friends who came to show their support. Special thanks go to the Qingdao Football Association and relevant organizations for their guidance and support.
祝贺青岛大齐足球队夺得冠军，也向所有参赛队伍、球员、裁判、志愿者及到场支持的朋友致以衷心感谢。特别感谢青岛足协及相关单位的指导与支持。
In the future, Great Soccer will continue to host more international soccer exchange events and promote youth soccer training, allowing more people to find joy, friendship, and growth through sports.
未来，伟大足球将继续举办更多国际化的足球交流活动，并持续推动青少年足球培训，让更多人在运动中收获快乐、友谊与成长。
Soccer brings Qingdao closer to the world.
See you on the green field next time!
足球，让青岛与世界更近。
我们下次绿茵场再见！
