On Dec 26, the documentary A Goal for Life premiered on China Global Television Network, featuring a coming-of-age narrative centered on young footballers at the FC Bayern Football School Taicang, mentored by both Chinese and German coaches.

FC Bayern Munich has deepened ties with Taicang by sending outstanding German youth coaches to introduce advanced football philosophies and training methods. These coaches collaborate with local schools and trainers, kindling dreams of football greatness among Taicang's youth.

One significant factor in FC Bayern's choice of Taicang is the city's longstanding collaboration with Germany, which has expanded into the fields of culture and sports. This strategic expansion provides a fertile environment for the development of youth football and helps foster vibrant football leagues.

To further enhance its football culture, Taicang has collaborated with FC Bayern Munich to set up an exhibition center replicating Allianz Arena, displaying licensed trophies and jerseys from prestigious football competitions such as UEFA Champions League, Bundesliga, and German Cup (DFB-Pokal).

By hosting cultural and sporting  events like Sino-German table tennis competitions and marathons, and introducing German amenities such as bakeries, kindergartens, hotels, and restaurants, Taicang offers an authentic German lifestyle.
