Feb. 4 - In response to the access issue, the Chinese Island Red Lions club issued an official statement saying that the official response from the CFA is based on the final official list of the Division III league.
The official statement of Qingdao Red Lions FC said, "With the access notice list released by CFA on January 29, 2024, Qingdao Red Lions was pushed into the limelight. According to the access list, our division is ranked 32nd. In view of the fact that the 2024 China Professional Football League Tier 3 list has not yet been announced, the CFA is still reserving a certain amount of time for the relevant clubs to have additional access, and the league lists speculated by major media outlets and self-publishing platforms based on the access list fully reflect the expectations and recognition of the media and fans for Qingdao Red Lions. The official reply received by our department from the CFA is based on the final official list of the three-tier league.
So far, fans and friends have touched our Qingdao Red Lion Football Club with their love and concern for the Red Lion. Various media have also reported some information about the Red Lions signing. Qingdao Red Lions Football Club clarified the signing and team preparation to the fans and friends.
In 2023, our tournament was both difficult and enjoyable. The difficult part was that the team had only 20 days, and the players had no time to bond and train for the tournament. During the tournament, the players showed everyone the valiant and fearless sportsmanship, and played with the momentum and characteristics of Qingdao Red Lions. Although the final result is a little bit regrettable to rank fourth in B, but it also caused more attention, support and love from the circle and fans and friends. Based on this, we saw the team cohesion and positive energy of the Red Lions, and the unlimited potential and tension. The club started winter training in advance this month to fully prepare for the 2024 league season and try to lay a good foundation for the new season. After the club organized the winter training and released the related trial recruitment announcement, a large number of players came to the club, and there was no lack of individual agents recommending foreign players to the club. In order to improve the quality of winter training and the intensity of the team's confrontation, the club also accepted some foreign players who had tried out for other teams to participate in our winter training in order to maintain their physical condition.
Qingdao Red Lions Football Club always adheres to the rules and regulations of the CFA, and is strict with itself and abides by the rules of professional soccer. Qingdao Red Lion will, as always, face positively with full enthusiasm, insist on doing a good job of Red Lion brand building, and create a more solid value of corporate culture. With strength and confidence to occupy a place in the Chinese professional soccer league. Adhering to the rules, fairness and justice is the unchanging belief and determination of Qingdao Red Lion Football Club. Qingdao Red Lions Football Club will continue to enhance its internal strength, improve the club's market-oriented and commercialized system, and operate the club with a more professional and specialized concept. We also hope that fans and friends will work side by side with us to create a better future for Qingdao Red Lion."
Previously, according to reporter Chen Yong's analysis, the 2024 season was planned to be 16+16+18(+2), but now there are only 16+16+13+2. Therefore, theoretically 5 teams need to be supplemented, and you can't reduce the number of teams for a while, can you?6 clubs waiting to be supplemented with B to supplement with 5 teams shouldn't be a big problem. Also, congrats to Qingdao Red Lions for qualifying for the Central League, a city with a double super.
