As the clock ticks down to the eve of fall, with October just a week away, the rest of the year is about to unfold. Looking back at last year, the New Year's Eve competition unexpectedly gave rise to a series of thorny issues, such as the postponement of the transfer period and the temporary placement of players whose contracts had expired. The CFA has been planning its response for a long time, trying to bring this year's league to a close in order to avoid the chaos of last year's New Year's Eve.
The Chinese Super League has reached the halfway point of its 34-round campaign, with the first 16 rounds settled and the 17th and 18th rounds postponed even though they have already begun. 152 of the 306 matches have come to an end, with a completion rate of only 49.67%, less than half.
In contrast, the Central League is still adopting the closed match system, with no risk of postponement for the time being. The league is now at the end of its third phase, with the 23rd round of the 34-round tournament having been contested. 200 matches have been successfully concluded, with a completion rate of 60.36%.
The structure of the Chinese League B is simple, with only two phases: the first phase of 10 rounds and the second phase of 5 rounds. The first stage was successfully concluded in mid-August and is now entering a long break. This marks the completion of two-thirds of the Chinese B League.
The regional rounds of the Central Championship League have all come and gone, and the drums are about to beat for the finals. The finals are expected to take 7-8 competition days to complete, and overall, there isn't much in the way of suspense.
Only the first round of the AFC Cup has been completed, with seven more competition days to follow. In view of the participation of the Chinese Super League (CSL) and the Chinese First Division (CFD) teams, the scheduling of these competition days must take into account the schedules of the CSL and CFD.
