On the evening of March 22nd, Duke Kunshan University's Men's Football Team kicked off its first home game in the Suzhou College Football League. Adding a vibrant touch to this happy occasion was the Canadian International School Kunshan (CISK), a key partner of the DKU community.

During the match, CISK students acted as child mascots, aiding the flow of the game. Hence, during the entrance ceremony, students accompanied the football players onto the pitch and were warmly welcomed by all attending. 

The students’ participation is a sign of the great bond between CISK and DKU and also of how the two leading educational institutions work together. Similarly, the football league is no mere sporting competition but also a means to promote friendship between all ages and cultures.

Looking ahead, the partnership between DKU and CISK will only continue, with announcements about further such collaborations in the pipeline. This is only the beginning!
