Editor's note: President Xi Jinping described himself as a soccer fan in a speech to the Senate during his state visit to Mexico in 2013. "I'm a soccer fan. The Chinese soccer team has always worked hard, but has made it to the World Cup finals only once. "
Xi's love of the game has seen him receive a large number of jerseys and soccer balls as gifts from governments across the world. Here we have a look at Xi's collection of football-related gifts.
