The club quit.
Since 1997, representing Chongqing to participate in China's top soccer league, Chongqing team from the former guardian of Huandao to Chongqing Lifan, and then to the present Chongqing Two Rivers Athletic, after 25 years of brilliant years, set up the western professional soccer flag, but also become the business card of the city of Chongqing culture and sports.
Since the beginning of last year, the Chongqing club and the local authorities have had many discussions on share reform, aiming to preserve the flame of Chongqing professional soccer. However, the share reform process has failed to move forward as planned, and the club has accumulated debts and is no longer able to maintain operations. Previously, in the open letter released by Chongqing, the players expressed their willingness to voluntarily give up the salary owed by the club before April 30, 2021, in the hope of completing the share reform according to the plan to save the team. But in the end, the team still failed to escape the end of fate.
With the exit of Chongqing Two Rivers Athletic, the new season of the
China Super League (soccer league)
The league will inevitably face schedule adjustments. Currently, the CFA and the CFL preparatory team are urgently discussing a plan to deal with the situation. According to the original plan, there will be no replacement teams for the first division, and 17 teams will compete in the new season of the

.. Chongqing will be condemned to 0-3 losses in all the matches they are involved in, and the team has locked up an early relegation spot.
However, from the reporter's latest understanding of the situation, there is still the possibility of starting the second plan. For the maintenance of fair competition in the league and other factors, the Chinese Football Association and the preparatory group of the Chinese Football League still hope to maintain the number of 18 teams to participate in the competition, do not rule out the emergency replacement of a team into the new season respectively!

League, as well as the possibility of substituting a team into the new season of the Central League. In fact, two years ago the Cangzhou Lions were also handed a team in the

League.
If this proposal is finally confirmed, according to the professional league club replacement rules, Dalian Ren, which was originally included in the new season of the Central League, and Shanghai Jiading Huilong, which was included in the new season of the Central League B, are expected to be replaced as the "first team" of the relevant league to enter the new season.
