55 Chinese soccer players under 25 years old have started Military Drills, which includes ideology education and special force training.

This training session has started from 8th Oct, and will end at 29th Dec, while the Chinese Super League season this year will finish at 11th Nov. This means these young players will miss joining games rest of this season.  

China's national soccer team has not secured a win recently, and they were forced to accept a tie with India, world ranking 97th, last weekend. 

However, China's authority aims to build a top intentional soccer team by 2050.
