The remaining nine rounds of the first phase become crucial in determining the final "top eight" and "bottom eight" teams. In other words, a team that finishes in the top four of its group in the first phase will be ranked in the top eight for the season, even if it loses all of its matches in the second phase. If a team fails to finish in the top four in the first phase, even if they win all their matches in the second phase, their highest ranking will only be ninth.
Although the first phase is crucial for the teams, China now

The schedule is exceptionally "devilish", from July 18 to August 12, the two districts have to organize nine rounds of matches, four matches in each round of each district are arranged to be played on the same day. This means that every team in the two regions will have to endure the high density of "three days, one game" within 24 days. This pace of play is the highest in the world. China

The reason for this scheduling arrangement is entirely due to the fact that after making way for the national team, the league schedule actually doesn't have much time to organize a weekly rhythm. Since it's the middle of summer, each round of the Guangzhou tournament is scheduled for two time slots at 6:00pm and 8:00pm, while the Suzhou tournament is scheduled for three time slots at 4:30pm, 6:30pm and 8:30pm.

The venue requirements and safety and security of the hosting region also put forward higher requirements. Since the original Suzhou Sports Center in Suzhou could not meet the requirements of the tournament, and the Suzhou Olympic Sports Center could not carry too many matches, the CFF preparatory team decided to add Jiangyin Stadium and the outside of the Suzhou Olympic Sports Center to the Suzhou tournament, which is 86 kilometers away from the city of Suzhou, which undoubtedly increased the difficulty of the matches for the participating teams in the tournament area. It is precisely because of the coordination difficulties faced by the venues in Jiangsu that the China

According to the current arrangement, the Blue Zone of Guangzhou Tournament will be launched from July 13, and two teams, Guangzhou and Henan Jianye, which are playing a bye game, will be stationed at the Oriental Hotel, the hotel of the Blue Zone, on the 13th. The other six teams will move in by July 16th. The venues for the Guangzhou tournament will continue to be Galaxy Stadium, Yuexiushan Stadium, University City Stadium and Huadu Stadium, with the Guangzhou and Guangzhou City teams scheduled to play in two different time slots in each round.
For the Guangzhou fans who are most concerned about whether to open the audience or not, the principle of the Guangzhou Organizing Committee is to follow the guidance of the Guangzhou Municipal Government and keep the first 5 rounds of the first phase of the program: all the venues can be opened to 75% of the audience. Yesterday, the organizing committee of the Guangzhou Tournament held another working meeting and made a decision on the above preparatory work.
