On the basis of last season's lineup, the team is gradually showing a trend of rejuvenation. However, it was reported that Guangzhou City's shareholding reform process was not going well, and although 100 million yuan had been deposited in the accounts, the club was unable to utilize the funds, and the payment of the players' outstanding wages had been repeatedly postponed. Some players had pressured the club to resolve the salary arrears issue, or they might follow the example of Chongqing's strike and refuse to enter the tournament. Fortunately, the latest news shows that after many communications between the club and the players, the issue has been temporarily resolved. The club conveyed the willingness of the new investor to actively promote the equity reform, and the players will be stationed in the district on time. However, it is rumored that the player side has proposed a 14-day deadline within which the club is expected to raise funds to pay three months' salary. Therefore, Guangzhou City may still face new challenges after the opening match. According to the schedule, Guangzhou City will play Changchun Yatai, Dalian Ren, Shandong Taishan, Henan Songshan Longmen and Zhejiang in the first five rounds.
