Youth on the Rise, Together in Victory A New Chapter for Taiwanese Football Begin
Victory League and CTFA Youth League Announce Partnership
[April 8, 2025] Taiwanese football is entering a new era as the Victory League and the Chinese Taipei Football Association (CTFA) Youth League officially announce a strategic collaboration. This partnership will not only enrich Taiwan’s football competition structure but also create more opportunities for players to compete, laying a stronger foundation for the sport's development in the country. Chairman of the CTFA, Mr. Wang Lin-Hsiang, stated: "We believe that the collaboration between the Victory League and the Youth League will bring more opportunities to Taiwanese football and become a major milestone in its development."
In previous years, the Victory League primarily focused on younger age groups, including U6, U8, U10, U12, and U14, with an emphasis on grassroots training and development. The Youth League, on the other hand, concentrated on competitive play in the U15 and U18 categories, aiming to cultivate more high-level youth players.
With this new collaboration, the leagues will merge to offer a more complete age structure, including U6, U8, U10, U12, U14, U16, and U18 divisions, with competitions tailored to each age group. This change is expected to significantly enhance long-term player development, ensuring that players encounter appropriate competitive challenges at every stage of their growth - ultimately preparing them for adult and professional football.
The restructured league system will include both regional and national competitions. This format will enable clubs from across Taiwan to participate more actively, increasing both the scale and the appeal of the matches. Regional competitions will provide more frequent match opportunities for local teams, while the national championship will gather the top teams to compete for ultimate honors. This structure not only offers valuable match experience but also helps players improve by competing at higher levels.
“Youth on the Rise, Together in Victory” - the partnership between the Victory League and the Youth League marks the beginning of a new chapter for Taiwanese football. It signals a new era filled with more matches, more challenges, and greater opportunities for young players to thrive. With a more complete league system in place, Taiwanese football is set to align more closely with international standards and enhance its competitiveness on the global stage.
