Foshan Skyway Centre, the first ever professional stadium for American football in China, opened in Foshan, Guangdong Province on Sunday (27 March).

The newly-established stadium will be used as a base for American football training and promotion under the auspices of Skyway, a football-focused education company.

“Skyway will continue the innovative model and provide professional services for juniors who love (American) football across China from its base at Foshan Skyway Centre,” said Zhang Nan, vice president at Skyway.

“(We hope) it can help more Chinese juniors improve both physically and mentally, and also contribute to China’s talent pool in (American) football”.

 “American football has already become a popular game abroad, and the NFL Super Bowl is even called the Spring Festival Gala in the US. Taking training in American football will give shy Chinese youngsters an opportunity to release themselves,” Zhang Nan continued.
