With the national football team setting foot in competitive Dubai, their return date has been pushed to around June 16, and a long period of medical quarantine will be required after their return in compliance with domestic anti-epidemic regulations. As a result, the resumption of the Chinese Super League is likely to be delayed, and may even be postponed until mid-July. Considering the possibility of the national soccer team to qualify for the Round of 12, time is running out, and the journey of this season's Premier League may also be compressed, and whether it will be able to complete 30 rounds of matches is still in doubt.
The original schedule showed that the Chinese Super League (Round 6) would restart on June 21st. However, with the national football team's trip to the United Arab Emirates, the internationals will have to complete their 40-team tournament on June 15 (provided the Group A matches have not been postponed) and will have to return to China on June 16 at the earliest. After arriving in China, they will have to undergo a series of epidemic prevention checks and a long period of medical isolation. Against this backdrop, it seems unlikely that the Chinese Super League will restart on June 21 as originally planned.
It is reported that, judging from the current exchange of information, it is more likely that the re-launch of the Chinese Super League will be delayed. On the one hand, Guangzhou City, as one of the two major tournament zones of the Chinese Super League, is in a critical situation of epidemic, and prevention and control work is of utmost importance. Given that some of the matches have been opened to spectators, the organizers and the tournament area must put the protection of the lives and health of the personnel in the first place, and carefully consider the restart of the matter. On the other hand, the international players will have to be quarantined for a long period of time after their return home, and the organizers must wait for them to regain their health before restarting the league from the perspective of fair competition.
As of May 31, discussions on related matters are still ongoing. But from the time projection, once the Super League delayed restart, then the specific start date may be delayed until mid-July.
