China Children and Teenagers' Fund (CCTF) began implementing the "Dream of Future, Infinite Possibilities" Project in Lingwu, a city in Yinchuan, capital of Northwest China's Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, in September 2024. 

Under the project, 390,000 yuan (US $54,930) was donated to the women's soccer team of Lingwu No. 2 High School, and to students from families coping with financial difficulties. 

During the past seven months, the school has invited coaches from Shaanxi Provincial Women's Soccer Team to help train the high school's players. The coaches developed physical-training plans and helped deepen the players' understanding of tactics. They also taught the players how to cope with pressure, and how to improve their team work. 

With the project's support, the school's soccer team attended a competition in Jingyuan, a county in Northwest China's Gansu Province. That allowed the players to accumulate experience and gain confidence. 

The project will continue to support Lingwu No. 2 High School, in terms of cultivating soccer players, improving its coaches' capabilities and raising the team's overall competitiveness.
