The access lists for all levels of Chinese soccer will be officially announced soon this season. A total of 51 teams have reportedly completed debt settlement, including 18 Chinese Super League teams, 15 China A teams and 18 China B teams.
In 2019, there are 16 teams in the Chinese Super League and the Chinese League A, and 32 teams in the Chinese League B, which means there are 64 teams in the three-tier league. Now, the third tier of Chinese soccer could end up with only 51 teams, some of which have a lot of problems. It is not clear whether they have finalized their access and completed a successful season.
China B, the basis of the current Chinese soccer professional league, was once divided into two divisions. There were 18 teams in each of the North and South divisions, which were once in full swing. There were young hopefuls and big-name veterans who were reluctant to say goodbye to the professional game. However, to no one's surprise, in the past four years, maybe the Chinese Super League A teams have been able to come together, but the Chinese B teams have been half the size they used to be.
The Chinese Super League will be downsized in the new season, and the expansion was declared a failure. In contrast, CBACEO Zhang Xiong said that the CBA league will also consider expanding the size of the league when the conditions are ripe. As you can see, the development of Chinese basketball is not good, but at least it is benign, and the future of Chinese soccer is bleak, which is said to be the cause of the epidemic, so why is it that the basketball league can still grow, but the soccer league has taken a step back? Once the CBA expands, it will face the entire Chinese professional soccer industry. At a time when there are fewer and fewer professional teams in China and the professional players are getting worse and worse, Chinese soccer, perhaps, is really playing out.
