2026年国际足联世界杯决赛结束五天后，另一场冠军之战在中国西南部的群山之间打响。
Five days after the 2026 FIFA World Cup final, another championship showdown kicked off amid the mountains of southwest China.
“两个赛场都是足球比赛，都可以享受足球带来的快乐。”来到贵州榕江“村超”球场的世界杯裁判马宁说，“世界杯有世界杯的快乐，村超有最基层、最淳朴的快乐。”
“Both are football matches, and both allow people to experience the joy that football brings,”said FIFA World Cup referee Ma Ning at the Village Super League stadium in Rongjiang, Guizhou Province.“The World Cup has its own joy, while Village Super League offers the joy of football at its most grassroots and genuine.”
7月25日晚，2026年第四届贵州“村超”总决赛举行。首届冠军车江一村队以1:0战胜首次闯入八强便一路挺进决赛的平永村队，时隔三年再次捧起冠军奖杯。
The final of the fourth Guizhou Village Super League, widely known as Cun Chao, was held on the evening of July 25. Chejiang No. 1 Village, winner of the inaugural tournament, defeated first-time quarterfinalist Pingyong Village 1–0 to lift the trophy again after three years.
比赛开始后，车江一村率先打破僵局，以一球优势结束上半场。易边再战，平永村不断加强逼抢，通过边路突破、传中和头球多次冲击对方球门，但未能改写比分。经过90多分钟较量，终场哨声响起，车江一村队员相拥庆祝，村民和球迷的欢呼声响彻球场。
Chejiang No. 1 Village broke the deadlock in the first half and went into the break with a one-goal lead. After halftime, Pingyong Village stepped up its pressing and repeatedly threatened the opposition goal through runs down the flanks, crosses and headers, but was unable to find an equalizer. When the final whistle blew after more than 90 minutes, the Chejiang players embraced in celebration as cheers from villagers and supporters echoed around the stadium.
这不是一场职业比赛，却拥有不逊于大型赛事的紧张与热烈。
It was not a professional match, but it delivered all the tension and excitement of a major sporting event.
场上的球员来自不同职业，有学生、教师、警察，也有企业职工和个体经营者。工作日，他们各自学习、上班和生活；到了周末，他们重新以球员身份聚在一起，为自己的村庄而战。
The players came from all walks of life. Some were students, teachers and police officers, while others worked for companies or ran their own businesses. During the week, they studied, worked and went about their daily lives. At weekends, they became footballers again, coming together to represent their villages.
首次进入决赛的平永村队以大学生和高中生为主，不少队员从小就是邻居、同学或亲戚。球队原本只把进入八强作为赛季目标，此后的每一步都在创造队史最好成绩。
Pingyong Village, making its first appearance in the final, fielded a young squad largely composed of university and high school students. Many of the players had grown up together as neighbors, classmates or relatives. Their original goal for the season was simply to reach the quarterfinals. Every step beyond that marked a new milestone in the team’s history.
“‘村超’给普通人提供了一个圆世界杯梦的平台。”平永村队长蒋明星说，站在场上，听到乡亲们为自己呐喊，“就像在为自己的村踢世界杯”。
“Village Super League gives ordinary people a platform to fulfill their World Cup dreams,”said Pingyong captain Jiang Mingxing. Hearing fellow villagers cheering from the sidelines, he added, made the players feel“as though we were playing in a World Cup for our own village.”
冠军车江一村队则把球队称作“大家庭”。一些队员平时在外地生活，每逢比赛便驱车一两个小时赶回榕江。让他们留在这支球队的，不是职业合同，而是对足球的热爱和长期形成的归属感。
The champions, Chejiang No. 1 Village, describe their team as“one big family.”Some players live away from Rongjiang and travel for one or two hours to return for matches. What keeps them with the team is not a professional contract, but a shared love of football and a deep sense of belonging built over time.
这样的故事并非只属于两支决赛球队。本届赛事从1月持续至7月，共有137支乡村球队、2694名球员参加，累计完成528场比赛。参赛球队从2023年首届赛事的20支增加到2026年的137支，几乎覆盖榕江各个乡镇。
Such stories extend far beyond the two finalists. Running from January to July, this year’s tournament brought together 137 village teams and 2,694 players for a total of 528 matches. The number of participating teams has risen from just 20 in the inaugural 2023 season to 137 in 2026, reaching villages and townships across Rongjiang.
足球之外，球场也是当地社区生活和民族文化的公共舞台。决赛开始前，身着苗族、侗族、水族、瑶族等民族服饰的拉拉队和表演方阵依次入场；比赛间隙，民族服饰展示、群众合唱和足球互动轮番举行。赛后，各族群众围成同心圆跳起“多耶”舞。
Beyond football, the stadium also serves as a public space for community life and local culture. Before the final, cheerleading squads and performance groups dressed in the traditional attire of the Miao, Dong, Shui and Yao ethnic groups paraded onto the pitch. Displays of ethnic clothing, mass singing and football activities took place between matches. After the game, people from different ethnic groups joined hands in a circle to perform the traditional Duoye dance.
冠军得到的奖品是一头小黄牛，亚军收获香猪，季军的奖品则是当地小香羊。与商业赛事中的奖金和奖杯相比，这些来自乡土的奖品保留着“村超”最具辨识度的表达：球队代表村庄，荣誉也最终回到村庄。
The champions received a yellow calf, while the runners-up took home a pig and the third-place team was awarded a local breed of sheep. In contrast to the cash prizes and trophies associated with commercial competitions, these gifts rooted in rural life embody one of Village Super League’s most distinctive features: each team represents a village, and the honor ultimately returns to that community.
看台上，来自多米尼加共和国、也门、摩洛哥等国家的观众与当地村民一同观赛。民族服饰、歌舞、美食和此起彼伏的助威声，让足球成为跨越语言的交流方式。
Among the spectators were visitors from the Dominican Republic, Yemen and Morocco, watching alongside local villagers. Traditional clothing, music, dance, food and waves of cheering turned football into a common language that transcended cultural and linguistic differences.
“村超”自2023年走红以来，这项赛事已从县域联赛逐渐发展为国际民间交流平台。截至2026年6月，来自64个国家和地区的43支球队、1749名球员曾来到榕江参加比赛或交流活动；卡卡、罗伯托·巴乔、罗伯托·卡洛斯等国际足坛名宿也先后来访。
Since going viral in 2023, Village Super League has grown from a county-level competition into a platform for international people-to-people exchange. As of June 2026, a total of 43 teams comprising 1,749 players from 64 countries and regions had visited Rongjiang for matches and exchange activities. International football legends including Kaká, Roberto Baggio and Roberto Carlos have also visited the county.
足球带来的改变也延伸到赛场之外。从2023年5月至2026年5月，“村超”带动榕江接待游客超过2890万人次，实现旅游综合收入约326亿元人民币。餐饮、住宿、民族手工艺和农产品销售等行业随之发展，一场由村民创造的足球赛事，成为这个山区县连接外部世界的新窗口。
The impact of football has spread far beyond the pitch. From May 2023 to May 2026, Village Super League helped attract more than 28.9 million tourist visits to Rongjiang, generating approximately 32.6 billion yuan in tourism revenue. Restaurants, hotels, ethnic handicraft businesses and agricultural product retailers have all benefited. A football tournament created by villagers has become a new window connecting this mountainous county with the wider world.
榕江的“村超”并不是对世界杯的简单模仿。它没有世界巨星和高额转会费，也没有被职业化包装的球队。构成它的，是下班后赶来训练的普通人、举村出动的拉拉队，以及在场边为亲人和邻居呐喊的村民。
Rongjiang’s Village Super League is not simply an imitation of the World Cup. It has no global superstars, multimillion-dollar transfers or commercially packaged professional teams. Instead, it is built by ordinary people who rush to training after work, cheerleading squads mobilized by entire villages, and residents who stand on the sidelines cheering for their relatives and neighbors.
世界杯的冠军属于一支国家队，而在榕江，足球的快乐属于每一个愿意走上球场、来到看台的人。终场哨声响起，奖杯有了归属，但属于普通人的足球故事仍将继续。
The World Cup trophy belongs to one national team. In Rongjiang, however, the joy of football belongs to everyone willing to step onto the pitch or join the crowd. The final whistle has been blown and the trophy awarded, but the football story of ordinary people continues.
