Episode Details

Chongqing's Datianwan Stadium became the center of excitement on Saturday night as it hosted the opening match of the Chongqing City Football League, also known as Yu Chao. This is the upgraded version of the city's amateur super league, launched in 2016.

周六晚间，重庆大田湾体育场成为万众瞩目的焦点，这里举办了重庆城市足球联赛（又称“渝超联赛”）的揭幕战。该联赛是重庆2016年启动的业余足球超级联赛升级后的版本。

The stadium and its surroundings were turned into a vibrant carnival with food stands, cultural exhibits and live music performances.The opening match saw Chongqing's Yuzhong team face off against Jiulongpo and clinch a 3-2 victory.

体育场及其周边地区化作一场活力四射的嘉年华，现场设有小吃摊、文化展区，并举办了现场音乐表演。揭幕战中，重庆渝中队对阵九龙坡队，最终以3比2的比分获胜。

"We had never explored this area before, but tonight our family enjoyed a delightful meal of iron pot spicy fish outside the stadium. I think it has sparked widespread enthusiasm for sports and stimulated local consumption," said Sun Pinpin, 34, who attended the match with her husband and 10-year-old son.

“我们以前从没来过这片区域，但今晚我们一家人在体育场外享用了美味的铁锅麻辣鱼。我觉得这不仅点燃了大众对体育的热情，还带动了当地消费。”34岁的孙彬彬说道，她与丈夫及10岁的儿子一同前来观赛。

The league is regarded as the largest city soccer competition in China, featuring 41 teams from Chongqing's 38 districts and counties, as well as from the Chongqing Liangjiang New Area, Chongqing High-tech Industrial Development Zone and Chongqing Wansheng Economic and Technological Development Zone. In total, 178 matches are scheduled this season.

该联赛是中国规模最大的城市足球赛事，共有41支球队参赛，分别来自重庆38个区县，以及重庆两江新区、重庆高新技术产业开发区和重庆万盛经济技术开发区。本赛季共计划进行178场比赛。

The occasion also marked a significant moment for Datianwan Stadium, which had not seen such vibrancy since it last hosted a Chinese Jia-A League game 22 years ago. Built in 1956, the stadium was the first premier venue established after the founding of the People's Republic of China. Saturday's opener drew 21,680 fans.

此次赛事也为大田湾体育场迎来了重要时刻——自22年前承办中国甲A联赛赛事后，这座体育场许久未呈现如此热闹的景象。大田湾体育场始建于1956年，是中华人民共和国成立后建成的首座顶级体育场馆。周六的揭幕战吸引了21680名球迷到场观赛。

With the season scheduled to run until March or April next year, given the number of teams and matches, the CQFL is the most extensive city soccer league nationwide, said Zhang Jie, a technical official of the league.
