Even though the TEDA soccer stadium in 2004 to meet the first year of the Chinese Super League kicked off, now 20 years reunion, the significance is extraordinary. But after weighing the various parties, taking into account the fervent expectations of all parties, the opening ceremony of the new season ultimately failed to settle in Tianjin. However, the national team's good play will be staged here."
