The 2026 'Chu Feng Plan' national selection camp opened on July 12 at the Dalian Football Youth Training Center, with nearly 60 U15 elite female footballers competing over five days for 22 spots to train at Real Madrid in Spain.

The 2026 'Chu Feng Plan' national selection camp officially opened on July 12 at the Dalian Football Youth Training Center. Nearly 60 elite U15 female footballers from across China gathered to compete fiercely over five days for 22 precious overseas training spots. Organized by the National Youth Campus Football Leading Group Office, the camp aims to discover and cultivate young female football talents. The selected 22 players will travel to Spain in October for a two-week training camp at Real Madrid, where they will receive guidance from club experts and compete against high-level Spanish teams of the same age group. Since its inception, the 'Chu Feng Plan' has successfully held multiple editions, providing a steady stream of reserve talents for the Chinese women's national team. This year's selection camp has reached new heights in scale and quality, with participants from over 20 provinces, municipalities, and autonomous regions, representing the highest level of U15 women's football in China. At the opening ceremony, representatives from the organizing committee expressed hope that the partnership with Real Madrid would expose young Chinese female footballers to world-class training concepts and competitive environments, accelerating their development. This also marks a significant step in integrating Chinese campus football with international standards. Over the five-day selection process, players will undergo assessments including technical tests, tactical drills, and actual matches. An evaluation panel composed of domestic and international experts will score the players based on their overall performance to finalize the 22-player roster. Notably, the camp has invited several former women's national team stars as mentors. They will share their professional experiences and provide psychological and technical guidance to the young players. This mentorship model helps younger players adapt more quickly to high-level competition. As the performance of the Chinese women's national team gains increasing international attention, the cultivation of young female football talents becomes ever more critical. The 'Chu Feng Plan', as a long-term talent development project, is gradually building a complete training chain from campus to professional level, laying a solid foundation for the future of Chinese women's football. The holding of this selection camp not only provides a stage for U15 elite female footballers to showcase themselves but also injects new vitality into the long-term development of Chinese women's football. We look forward to these young talents soaring high and winning more honors for China in the future.
