As the highly anticipated Northeast Football City League (“Northeast Super League”) is about to kick off, Matt Sullivan, a passionate football fan from the UK who has made Shenyang his second home for many years, expresses his heartfelt support for the new league, showing his over 20 years of devotion to Liaoning football.

Now as a true “Shenyanger”, Matt began his journey with Liaoning football in 1998 when he watched his first live match at Fushun Leifeng Stadium. He was deeply impressed by the high-level competition and the exciting atmosphere. Later, he also watched games at Shenyang Wulihe Stadium. Over the years, he has supported several local football teams, including Shenyang Haishi, Shenyang Dongjin, Liaoning Hongyun, and Liaoning Tieren, which have left him with unforgettable memories. Matt has always been a loyal fan in the stands, passionately cheering for Liaoning football.

For Matt, the newly renovated Tiexi Stadium offers a great spectator experience. With the running track removed, fans can sit much closer to the pitch. What’s more, upgraded lighting and large screens also create a fantastic live atmosphere. Beyond the great facilities, what touches him most is the sincerity and enthusiasm of the Liaoning fans. Through football, he has made many good friends here, such as Bro Shao, Er Hong, and Bro Guang. Their shared love for Liaoning football has provided Matt with lasting friendships and a strong sense of belonging, helping him fully integrate into life in Shenyang.

Speaking of the upcoming “Northeast Super League”, Matt says it is a positive boost for football development in Northeast China. He believes this regional league will ignite fans’ passion, provide a solid development platform for young players, and further showcase the vitality and promising future of Liaoning football.
