Despite the economic pressure on Dalian People's Football Salon, the team is still committed to improving its strength. Gui Bing revealed that the team has successfully lifted the ban on registering new players and introduced a number of new players, including goalkeeper Wu Nano. At the same time, the salon is actively negotiating with the relevant parties over the contracts of Lin Liangming and other players.
Regarding the choice of home field, Gui Bing explained that the Puwan Stadium was built for the 2013 National Games and the team chose this location as its home field to revitalize the venue's resources.

In response to a question about the reasons for not using authentic uniforms this season, Liu Guanyi said that the team had to book the second year's uniforms 18 months in advance due to the team's relegation to the Central League at the beginning of the year and Nike no longer providing sponsorship, resulting in a missed booking opportunity. Nonetheless, the team is still launching derivatives through the official mall and plans to update at least four pieces per month to keep in touch with fans.
