According to Football Daily, the 2023 Tier 3 access list will be announced on the morning of the 29th, with the CFA announcing the list and answering questions in a media conference. According to previous reports, the size of the third-tier professional league will be reduced to 16 teams, with Guangzhou and Kunshan soccer clubs unlikely to gain access.
Prior to the announcement of the access list, the CFA released a list of defaulting clubs in two batches, including Wuhan Changjiang, Hebei, Zibo Cuju, Beijing Bejing Sports University and Xinjiang Xuebao. , none of which appeared on the list, meaning they have given up their China A and China B status.
However, access to the arrears clearance list is only one step in the access process and requires an access audit by the FA. Guangzhou City reportedly failed to resolve all issues within the promotional period, and Kunshan FC, promoted in the Chinese Super League, did not train at all. The shareholding dispute caused the club to forfeit its qualification for the Chinese Super League.
However, with the help of the relevant authorities, all debts, including those of the Shenzhen team, were cleared, and the whistle was pressed to gain access to the Chinese Super League.
According to Football Daily, the CFA and CFA will hold a press conference on the morning of the 29th, where the list will be officially announced and questions will be answered at the press conference, which means that media reporters will be invited to attend.
