Taiwan and Football, with Matt

I am joined by Matt from Master Football Academy Taiwan located in Beitou, northern Taipei, to talk about football, as this sport slowly gains popularity in Taiwan. Our talk focused on children’s football (Matt’s area of expertise), including his team’s recent success in the JSSL tournament in Singapore, as well as discussing general aspects of Taiwanese culture.

In our discussion we briefly mentioned the NT$500 bill and the fact that the obverse (front) of the note has an image of children playing baseball. Placing that image on the bill is a celebration that Taiwan has been the champions of the Little League World Series seventeen times (their first victory being in 1969 and their most recent victory being in 1996).
