An international teenager five-a-side football tournament kicked off Thursday in Erenhot, a city of northern China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.

   Players of 18 teams from Mongolia's Ulan Bator, Zamin-Uud as well as China's Hohhot, Xilinhot cities and other places are participating in the three-day event.
