"Village Super League" refers to the "Hemei Rural Football Super League" held in Rongjiang County, Qiandongnan Miao and Dong Autonomous Prefecture, Guizhou Province. Since mid May, every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, 20 participating teams composed of local residents have been fiercely competing on the green field. Football matches are played from dusk to midnight, attracting an average of over 10000 spectators per game. Especially on Saturdays, the crowd gathered on the runway, some even carrying ladders for easy observation, and even tourists from outside the province, creating a very lively atmosphere.

The exciting scenes of "Village BA" are still vividly remembered, and the whistle of "Village Super" is once again sounded. The common feature of both is down-to-earth atmosphere: the participants are all local people, the prizes are local specialty agricultural products, and the audience covers all age groups. It should also be noted that the success of "Village Super" is not a simple replication of the former, but a tailored approach to local conditions, using football as a carrier that is widely loved by the local people, and integrating the folk culture and unique customs of Rongjiang into it.
Choosing a football tournament is due to the rich football atmosphere in Rongjiang. As early as the 1990s, the people of Rongjiang spontaneously organized matches on open-air stadiums. Although the conditions were simple, everyone played happily. Nowadays, Rongjiang County has 14 standard football fields, 35 registered teams, and over a thousand players. Rooted in the deep soil of football, the launch of "Village Super" was also natural.
"Village Super League" is a football match, not just a football match. On the grass, superb football skills and exciting matches showcase people's uplifting spirit. In addition to the competition, "Village Super" has also become a stage for showcasing the unique cultural style of the local area. During the halftime of the competition, Dong girls sing Dong ethnic songs, Miao girls dance gracefully, and Rongjiang ethnic culture blends here. Through the green field, distinctive culture has become another new business card of Rongjiang: intangible cultural heritage such as Lusheng dance and Dong ethnic song showcase the historical culture and folk customs of Rongjiang; Local specialty foods such as glutinous rice, pickled fish, and rolled noodles, amidst the rich atmosphere of human fireworks, express the local people's yearning and pursuit for a better life.
Rural sports events have enriched the leisure life of local people and also infected more outsiders through the internet. Build a stage for sports, and everyone can become the protagonist. On the "Village Super League" field, players who perform actions such as "Rainbow Passing" and score "World Wave" goals are ordinary people from all walks of life. They are drivers, carpenters, teachers, etc. in life, and standing on the field is a player who strives hard. It is precisely this love for football that has moved more people and made "Village Super" popular on the internet. In the process of running and fighting, players on the field constantly create their own shining moments, and audiences online and offline are also infected with such love and passion, immersing themselves in the vitality of sports and the charm of culture.
Nowadays, many rural sports events have been launched in many parts of China, from the rural basketball game in Xihaigu, Ningxia to the football "Village Boundary Cup" in Xuzhou, Jiangsu. The fruitful development of rural revitalization in different regions has been presented in a colorful way on the sports field. Not long ago, the Office of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs and the Office of the General Administration of Sports issued a notice that four competition zones will be established nationwide, namely Southeast, Northeast, Northwest, and Southwest. Provincial representative team competitions will be held in each zone, and the first national "Village BA" final will be held in Taijiang, Guizhou. I believe that the continuous expansion of rural sports events will drive more people to participate, and I also hope that this sports enthusiasm will continue to be hot, providing the people with more exciting cultural and sports activities and richer spiritual nourishment.
