On the afternoon of November 11, the organizing committee of the Chinese Super League (CSL) announced the fixtures for the 26th-31st rounds of matches in this season's CSL. Following the release of the fixture scheduling information, the Chinese Football Association (CFA) confirmed the kick-off times and scheduling information for the second round (32-16) of this season's FA Cup matches. Beijing Guoan will host Jingchuan Wenhui, the representative team of the Chinese Championship, on Nov. 17 at 3:30 p.m. in Rizhao.
As planned, the second round of this season's FA Cup will be held on November 16th/17th/18th. Starting from this round, the Super League teams will participate collectively. According to the competition method, when a low level team meets a high level team, the match should be arranged at the home ground of the low level team. However, due to objective factors, some of the participating teams of the Chinese Super League, Chinese First Division, Chinese Second Division and Chinese Championship are temporarily unable to participate in their home matches. As a result, the tournament organizers also adjusted the arrangement of the playing venues according to the actual situation. For example, for the home matches of the Chinese First Division, most of the venues were arranged in the Dalian, Tangshan and Nanjing regions.
There are two matches in this round of the FA Cup between Chinese Super League teams. Chengdu Chengdu vs. Hebei on Nov. 16 at 3:30 p.m., and Dalian Ren vs. Zhejiang on Nov. 18 at 3:30 p.m., kicking off in Dalian.
Beijing Guoan will host Rizhao on the afternoon of Nov. 17 to take on Chinese Championship side Jingchuan Wenhui.
