With hosts China lifting the 2007 women''s soccer invitational event trophy on Tuesday evening, Shenyang and Qinhuangdao satisfactorily completed their task and stood the test at a rehearsal for the 2008 Olympic Games.
The event served as a testing ground for all aspects of the organization of the Olympic Games soccer events, such as reception services, safety and security, transportation, medical care, broadcasting, volunteering and weather forecasting services.
Less than 400 days to go ahead of the Beijing Games, the tournament sent a strong message that the 2008 Olympic soccer events are in good hands, at least partially.
"I think it''s a successful tournament. Even seeing from a rigorous standard, the whole event were going smoothly and well-organized, which give everybody coming here a confident vote for next year''s Olympic Games in Beijing," said Thailand''s assistant team manager Khajohnkiat Nipatpokai.
"My staff and players all found no oversights in match arrangement, accommodation, transportation, as well as security guard," he added.
Four women''s soccer teams participated in the warming-up event for September''s World Cup on Chinese soil, as China were joined by Italy, Mexico and Thailand in Shenyang and Qinhuangdao, both holding matches of next year''s Olympic soccer competitions.
