In the Beijing time zone on August 19th, the much-anticipated Chinese Super League (CSL) champions Shandong Taishan announced through official channels that their first home game, which is due to return to Jinan on August 21st, will have to be played in the form of an empty stadium. Behind this decision is the recent resurgence of the epidemic situation. In light of this, the match between Shandong Taishan and Chengdu Rongcheng, scheduled for the 14th round of the league, will no longer be open to the public.
