Based on last season's performance, Shenhua, as the third-placed team, chose the building to move into. It is worth mentioning that Beijing Guoan chose last year's Building 8, while Shanghai Seaport is in Building 6, which is also where the Chinese men's and women's soccer teams chose to stay. Shenhua, on the other hand, will stay in Building 5, where the South Korean women's soccer team also stayed two days ago. During the Women's Olympic Games, the buildings where the Chinese and South Korean women's soccer teams stayed belonged to the red zone, so before Shenhua and the seaport moved in, these two buildings will be fully decontaminated.
