At the beginning of the year 2023, news came on January 7 that the CCTV Sports Channel's Football Night program launched an in-depth report on January 6, focusing on the topic of Jiading Huilong: a real-life phenomenon in soccer. The report disclosed in detail the breakdown of this club's first-team capital investment in 2023.
In 2023, Shanghai Jiading Huilong, a member of the Central League, reportedly spent a total of 13.1 million RMB. Of that total expenditure, the wages of first team players make up the bulk of the total, totaling 8 million yuan. Meanwhile, the team's travel and operating costs amounted to about 3 million yuan, while match bonuses amounted to 2.1 million yuan.
Shanghai Jiading Huilong delivered 7 wins, 10 draws and 13 losses in the 2023 Chinese League One, eventually settling for 11th place in the table, which certainly sums up their year's efforts.
