Haimen Codion Football Club has recently moved into its long-awaited new training base, marking the beginning of a new chapter in the club's training and operational development. 

In addition to comprehensive training facilities, the base is equipped with office spaces, dining areas, accommodation quarters, and a fitness and rehabilitation center — the latter of which is set to open to the public in the future. 

At the heart of the training facilities is a professional-grade natural grass soccer pitch, built to full 11-a-side specifications and capable of accommodating about 8,000 spectators. The venue not only meets the daily training needs of the club but also provides a platform for hosting various high-level soccer events.

The base also features a cultural exhibition hall that traces the club's journey since its establishment in 2011, exhibiting a collection of memorabilia and highlighting its achievements over the past 14 years. Meanwhile, the fan interaction zone and club store serve as important bridges connecting the club with its supporters and the wider community. 

"Moving into the new base represents a fresh starting point for the club and marks a new beginning in our efforts to cultivate more soccer talent and promote the development of the sport in Nantong," said Ji Wei, media department director of the Codion Football Club.
