Walked to the end.

China Super League (soccer league)

The league's Chongqing Liangjiang Athletic Club officially announced its dissolution on the 24th. The team, which was founded in 1995, has endured nearly 30 years of ups and downs and finally drew a line in the history of soccer.

The reason for the dissolution points straight to financial woes. According to the country's local media, the Chongqing side decided to dissolve the club because of its ongoing financial problems. The club's finances deteriorated to the point where it could not even pay the salaries of its staff and players.

Chongqing is no stranger to Korean fans. The current head coach is South Korean Zhang Waerong, while Lee Jang-soo was in charge between 1998 and 2001 and Jung Woo-young also played for the team.

The league is in an unprecedented crisis. In retrospect, many companies have actively invested money with soccer at their core, but now, with the double whammy of the real estate bubble and the new crown epidemic, companies with soccer teams are in trouble.

With less money from their parent companies, more and more teams are unable to even guarantee the salaries of their players, which has caused a decline in the overall standard of our league. In the just-concluded Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Champions League (ACL), the performance of Chinese Super League (CSL) teams can be described as a total failure, with all the participating teams failing to get out of the group stage.

In particular, the dissolution of last year's defending champions, Jiangsu Suning, brought this crisis to a head.
