In the course of intense preparations, the tournament organizers had an urgent internal discussion on the 24th and came up with a bold proposal - "add an additional team to join the
China Super League (soccer league)
League". However, this move, once implemented, will undoubtedly trigger a chain of effects that will bring many challenges and problems to the participating teams and organizers. As a result, there were divergent views within the organization on whether to implement the program.
According to a report by Beijing Youth Daily on the 25th, after many rounds of discussion and evaluation, the tournament organizers have finally decided to support the supplementation proposal. However, because the supplementation work involves many links, involving the Chinese Super League, the Chinese First League, the Chinese Second League and other levels of replacement matters, the organizers need to implement the details of many rules one by one. This is also the reason why the supplement proposal was not made public until noon on the 25th.
In contrast, the operation of the program of supplementation into the Chinese Super League is relatively simple. It is reported that, in accordance with the provisions of the replacement, Dalian People's Football Club, as the first team, the priority to obtain additional qualifications. Tournament organizers contacted the club at the first time, and the reply showed that the Dalian People's Club has a very strong will to be added to the Chinese Super League.
The tournament organizers have basically agreed to add promotion by Dalian People's Club. As for the additional proposals for the Central League A and Central League B, they are still under discussion by many parties. The reason is that the current foreign aid policies of the three professional leagues are different, especially in League B, where foreign aid is currently prohibited. As the transfer window for the new domestic soccer season has been closed, all clubs have completed their staffing according to their own business conditions and strategies. Therefore, even if the CFA temporarily opens the transfer window, it will be difficult for clubs to add new players when the league is about to start. If the upgraded clubs have obvious deficiencies in staffing, especially in terms of foreign aid, it will lead to unfair competition in the league. Therefore, even if the tournament organizers support the additions, whether or not the middle and lower level clubs have the will to add new players will actually affect the outcome of the decision.
It is reported that FIFA recently sent a letter to the Chinese Football Association (CFA) requesting to stop the Dalian People's Club from attracting reinforcements, on the grounds that there is a personnel contract dispute in the club. Of course, under the current operating environment of domestic professional soccer, the situation of playing professional leagues with an all-Chinese team is not an isolated case.
It is worth mentioning that although Chongqing Two Rivers Athletic Team withdrew from the Super League, the majority of clubs are actively preparing for the new season. 24th morning, members of the Super League opening event preparation team has appeared in Haikou City Wuyuanhe Stadium, they began to communicate with the local TV station opening event process. Inside the stadium, a block of LED billboards have been built. The new season of the Chinese Super League is highly anticipated.
