Alex - the man who created this team in the first place - comes from Chile. Alex and his friends gather twice a week at the Haigeng Sports Center near the Dianchi Lake in Kunming to play football. In just less than one year, they have already built up a squad with 30 to 40 people in all. Their goal is not merely to have fun themselves, but let more people, especially local children and teenagers fall in love with this sport.

A tennis coach who also loves football

We came to know Alex for the first time at an Italian restaurant in downtown Kunming when he was having dinner with a number of friends. He quickly invited us to sit down and began to introduce his friends to us: “he comes from Britain, and the one next to him is from France. Both of them are football coaches.”
