Soccer Daily has revealed that the access list for the 2023 third-tier league will be unveiled in the morning sun on the 29th. At that time, the CFA will hold a media gathering to unveil the access list on the spot and answer related queries. According to previous information, the number of teams in the third tier league will be reduced to 16 this time, and it seems that Guangzhou and Kunshan teams failed to be among them.
Prior to the official debut of the access list, the CFA had released a list of debt-settled clubs in batches, with Wuhan Changjiang, Hebei, Zibo Cuju, Beijing Sport University and Xinjiang Xuebao not listed, suggesting that they had given up competing for the China A and China B leagues.
However, settling debts is only one part of the access process, which still needs to pass the strict scrutiny of the FA. It was reported that Guangzhou City failed to resolve all the issues on schedule, while CSL newcomers Kunshan FC lacked the necessary training. The shareholding dispute led to the club eventually giving up its ticket to the Chinese Super League.
It is worth mentioning that, with the assistance of the relevant departments, the Shenzhen team and other debt problems have been properly resolved and won last-minute access to the Chinese Super League.
According to Football Daily, the CFA will hold a press conference on the morning of the 29th, when it will officially announce the access list and respond to media questions. Media reporters will be invited to participate in this conference to ensure the transparency and openness of the information.
