The Jiangmen Qiaodu International Youth Indoor Football Carnival and Youth Five-a-side Football Invitation Tournament was first held in 2013. It is the first international football event brand created by Jiangmen and one of the few large-scale international football carnival events in China and the first of its kind in the province. According to incomplete statistics, as many as 150 cities and 28 provinces and municipalities have participated in this competition.

Lin Jiansheng stated that the Jiangmen Qiaodu International Youth Indoor Football Carnival has become an important platform for domestic and international youth football exchanges, as well as a window to showcase Jiangmen's urban image, promote sports culture, and enhance friendship and cooperation. Young athletes from home and abroad will showcase their youthful charm and interpret the charm of football with their superb skills and excellent appearance. We look forward to young football players learning from each other and making progress together in the competition. We also hope to use the International Youth Indoor Football Carnival as a bridge to further promote international exchanges, communication, and friendship among young people.
