Miao Yuan, a veteran media personality disclosed that the first stage of the Chinese Football Association's Central League has a budget of up to 1.5 million dollars, while the budget for the Central League B is 1 million dollars, and such an expenditure is undoubtedly a heavy burden for many clubs.
Miao Yuan revealed on his personal social media platform that at least 1.5 million stages have been set aside for the Chinese Football A-League, while the Chinese Football B-League has been funded for at least 1 million stages. At present, this financial pressure is particularly heavy for many professional soccer clubs. Many clubs say that the facilities and services at the tournament are simply not worth the price.
In the case of a China B team, for example, each member of the team has to pay only 120-180 RMB per day to live in the city of the competition area, but once they enter the competition area, they have to pay up to 450 RMB per person. Although the training and dining conditions in the Dalian region are relatively good, some of the venues and accommodations in the region are so poor that it is difficult to even begin to talk about them, such as "the walls are dark, not even a standard room, and the food is quite bad."
In the eyes of these clubs, they could barely afford the $220-$290 per person per day, and $450 had apparently been too much for them to bear. Now, some teams even regret entering the tournament zone en masse because the expenses for the first stage are too great. Coupled with dissatisfaction with the conditions in the tournament area and questions about the fees, the teams' emotions are beginning to fluctuate. In such hot weather, the atmosphere of Chinese professional soccer is also permeated with negativity.
