On the evening of July 17, the 2025 Xi'an International Youth Football Invitational Tournament (Second Stage) started at the Xi'an Sports Training Center.

This event is co-organized by Xi'an Sports Bureau and Xi'an Education Bureau. It aims to create a high-level competitive and cultural exchange platform for Chinese and foreign youth football elites, and further promote the construction of key football cities in Xi'an and the development of youth football. The competition adopts the "group single round-robin + cross-qualifying match" system. The teams with the top two in group points will enter the cross-qualifying match of 1-4 to compete for the highest honor of the event; the teams with the bottom two in group ranking will enter the cross-qualifying match of 5-8, and all rankings will be determined.

As the "Sports +" international exchange brand event that Xi'an is focusing on creating, a total of 8 teams participated in the second phase of the Xi'an International Youth Football Invitational Tournament. The strong lineup from three continents not only provides young players with opportunities to compete with international high-level opponents, but also improves the overall competitive level of the event.
