Shaanxi Chang'an Athletic finished the season just past in fourth place in the Central League, yet preparations for this season have been met with heavy challenges. The club is short of funds, and the problem of salary arrears is particularly difficult. In order to solve this dilemma, the club decisively took measures to sell tickets and memberships for the new season in advance, with the intention of alleviating the pressure of salary arrears through the return of funds. Although this initiative won the widespread support of the fans, but the effect is not significant. Now, Shaanxi Chang'an Athletic's name has successfully appeared in the FA admission list.
We will have to wait and see what happens next regarding whether any players will appeal and how the FA will handle it. Prior to this, there have been clubs that have allegedly forged players' signatures in order to cater to access standards. In an interview, Bassiqi, the former foreign aid of Taizhou Yuanda, revealed that there were 15 players in the team who hadn't received their salaries, while the club had forged their signatures to sign the payroll list.
As a result, the access list announced by the FA is under scrutiny. Whether the players and staff will appeal, and what the outcome of the appeal will be, will be in the spotlight and cause for speculation.
