Young football players from the "Village Super" team of Rongjiang County in southwest China's Guizhou Province's Qiandongnan Miao and Dong Autonomous Prefecture engaged in a friendly match with Brazilian youth football players on Monday local time in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

President of China Media Group (CMG) Shen Haixiong and the Chairman of the Ibero-American Council of Sports, Jose Jimenez, kicked off the match. Young Chinese players from Rongjiang County played an eight-person football match against Brazilian youth. Despite language differences, football united them.

Brazilian players told CMG that the match is a brand-new experience, and they hope to play more such matches with their new Chinese friends.
