All countries are melting together. There are national teams from all over the world and they are all like good friends. Supporters, parents, coaches, players, everyone comes together, exchanges thoughts and makes new friends. We have created a kind of living room where everyone can come to analyze games, play games and play table football and so on. The location on the High Tech Campus is also fantastic. It is nice to see how people sit by the water and enjoy the sun and tranquility.
