Zoucheng, a pearl in southwestern Shandong, the hometown of Mencius, culture is thick, the ball is hot, crowded with countless soccer fans. Shandong Taishan Football Club will soon set up a B team home field here, this move will undoubtedly push the local soccer culture to a new climax, but also for the regional soccer industry to inject new vitality.
The 2024 China B League is full of smoke and the top 20 teams are ready to go. The tournament follows the tradition of dividing the league into North and South divisions. Then, according to the performance of the first stage, the teams will be divided into the first group and the relegation group, the competition is getting hotter and hotter. It is worth mentioning that Shandong Taishan B and Shanghai Harbor B will be absent from the promotion battle.
Unlike the Chinese Super League and the Chinese League A, the Chinese B League, the beacon of China's third-tier professional soccer, sticks to the position of local players, and the absence of foreign players makes it necessary for each team to use domestic players as its base. This undoubtedly poses a serious challenge to the team's youth training system and the strength of young players. Shandong Taishan, with its excellent youth training results and the title of U21 League Champion for the 2023 season, will continue to write a brilliant chapter in the Chinese B League.
Regarding the grouping schedule of the 2024 season of China B League, it is still in the process of conspiracy. It is speculated that Shandong Taishan B team will be grouped with Shandong powerhouses such as Tai'an Tian Kuang and Rizhao Yuqi in the North Zone, and a Qilu derby will be staged in turn, which will be exciting.
