Twelve U21 units from salons will participate in this tournament. After three years, the restart of this tournament is still of practical significance, in the end, for the domestic working salons, it gives the players in the young units a good opportunity to train and compete.

Last year, China

The preparatory team with the CFA had specifically designed a U21 league with mixed participation from salons, i.e., not in the division of the

The U21 units of each salon were registered to play in the tournament system. However, also due to the epidemic, in addition to the first phase of the first part of the group competition in June, the preparatory group of the CFF did not arrange the subsequent phase of the competition.

When the preparatory group with the CFF was drawing up the 2022 annual competition system and the competition schedule, in addition to the full rehabilitation of the home-and-away system of the three-tier working league as far as possible, the U21 league was also put on the agenda.

It is necessary for each of the 18 salons to send a team to participate in the event, but the competition will not be carried out in a home-and-away system as in the three-tier working league, but rather a centralized tournament system, divided into four stages. However, the program can never catch up with the change, especially this year, the repetition of the epidemic makes the

Both the league and the C.B. League can only continue to centralize the tournament system. So the U21 league is less and less able to care.
It is understood that the reason why the final participation in the U21 League as long as 12 troops, is still due to the delay in the start of the tournament.

Sharon is still signed up and ready to compete. However, the kick-off time has not been finalized. Influenced by the actual environment, many salons that formed the U21 unit announced their withdrawal after enrollment due to a variety of reasons; while individual salons like the Hebei team participated in the

The league are basically the youth army as the base, originally should participate in the U21 league is more appropriate, in the salon financial difficulties, it is difficult to form a U21 unit alone to participate in this tournament, so simply from the beginning did not sign up.
In view of the current actual situation, the preparatory group of the CFF did not force the issue and opted for a voluntary enrollment method. In the end, 10
