Raul Finished Heineken Legend Players' China tour in Chengdu
On June 20,2026 is the fourth stop of Heineken Legend Players' China tour in Chengdu. Former Spanish football star Raúl González Blanco participated this event in Chengdu.
During the event, despite rainy weather in Chengdu, Raúl still took the field under
the rain to participate in all interactive activities, successfully completing both a precision shot challenge at a small goal and a 5-a-side fan friendship match. After the event, he signed jerseys for the participants.
Subsequently, Raúl immersed himself in Chengdu's old streets to experience local life firsthand: he enjoyed authentic gaiwan jasmine tea at a teahouse, watched a Sichuan opera face-changing performance throughout, developed a strong interest in the traditional art of rapid facial transformation, and fully appreciated the fusion of Chengdu's teahouse culture with its intangible cultural heritage opera. The event was centered around the theme "Football + Urban Life," blending the passion of football with Chengdu's leisurely lifestyle.
This trip marks the fourth stop of the 2026 Heineken Legend Players' China Tour, having previously visited other cities. The Chengdu stop was held in the form of an offline fan meet-and-greet event combined with urban cultural experiences.
