- On Sunday 25th, Afrika United played (and won) a 3-team tournament at Shijingshan Stadium organised by Beijing Zi Yan FC, the fastest growing football club in Beijing.

Hakuna Matata!

This year, the capital´s top professional team, Beijing Guo An, was exceptional and almost won a title, but in Beijing´s international football scene, progress is steady:

Another momentous year has seen Afrika United show its best and its worst:

- There was another unbeaten season of IFFC football which ended in another treble;
- There was a victory (in a friendly match) over a fully professional local side;
- There was the creation of the Africa-China Friendship team;
- Afrika United secured sponsorship with one of the many African companies in the PRC;
- The celebrations surrounding Africa Day echoed far and wide;
- Also, Afrika United now participates in several five-a-side where our players regularly exhibit their skills with the likes of Beijing Guo An´s own Adelardo;



- Afrika United also suffered its first defeat in over 3 years, which came at the hands of Beijing´s French side, French LE.

However, 2008 will undoubtedly bring much joy to all football fans -

Indeed, our first present to you all has already arrived: Players and Supporters of Afrika United FC are entitled to a free season ticket to watch the Second Division of China´s professional league and some Cup matches, you just need to contact us - Merry Christmas!

We continue to welcome all of your support and know that 2008 will be a great year for Afrika United and all sport in China! Don´t hesitate to get involved!

- Most Valuable Player - Adam (Nigeria)
- Best Supporter - Jonathan (France)
