The Chinese Football Association (CFA) kicked off the new Chinese Super League (CSL) season on April 8, and the fixture list has attracted a lot of attention since it was released. According to today's sports disclosure, the new season of the Chinese Super League compared to the previous period has been shortened, and the hot summer tournament for the team's performance is crucial.
Looking at the scheduling of the Premier League, we see that the length has been drastically reduced compared to previous years, with games kicking off on April 15 and wrapping up on November 4, making the entire season less than seven months long. It is worth mentioning that six double matches per week have become the norm, with as many as five before mid-July. This arrangement not only meets the training needs of the national team, but also paves the way for the reform of the AFC Champions League across the year.
In just 24 days from June 23 to July 17, teams will have to face the challenge of five rounds of the Chinese Super League and one round of the AFC Cup, averaging one match every four days. The schedule shows that from the end of June to the end of August, there will be 12 rounds of league matches intensively staged. The winners and losers of the summer campaign will undoubtedly determine the final ranking of each team in the league.
