Due to the FA's adjustment of the admission time for clubs for the new season, it has been two days today, however, information about which clubs failed to pass the admission review has not yet been released. According to the latest developments, the FA may also make further delays to the access time.
Soccer Daily revealed that the CFA had issued a notice to all clubs in the third tier league on December 12, aiming to solicit their views on the policies related to the professional league for the 2024 season. The survey was conducted through a questionnaire covering three major sections, namely league policies, admission standards and competition rules. The closing date for the questionnaires was December 14th, and time will need to be invested in organizing the survey. Obviously, the original deadline could not be completed, and the extension of the time for clubs to enter the league seems to be inevitable.
It has been reported that the Chinese Football Association (CFA) is exploring the possibility of relaxing its policy on the transfer of clubs from one place to another, while investigating the issue of access to the league. Rumor has it that the long-standing ban on off-site transfers may be lifted. According to the latest news, newly promoted Chinese Super League team Sichuan Jiuniu may seize the opportunity of the CFA's relaxation of the transfer policy and move their team to Shenzhen to fill the vacancy of the Chinese Super League in that city. The Shenzhen team has been relegated to the first division and is in debt, so its future is not yet clear. If Sichuan Jiuniu moves to Shenzhen, the city is expected to have a Chinese Super League team again, which is undoubtedly good news for local fans. However, the impact of the FA's relaxed transfer policy on the future of Chinese soccer remains to be seen.
