In an update from the North Youth Daily, 42 of the 50 clubs registered for the new season at all levels of the league have successfully passed the initial vetting process, while the remaining eight are busy supplementing their materials. Particularly notable is the failure of two northern Chinese Super League clubs to pass this hurdle, which has sparked widespread discussion among fans. Although it has not yet been clearly reported which two clubs, according to fans' analysis, Cangzhou Lions and Beijing Guoan may be the unfortunate teams.
Looking back, Cangzhou Lions suffered from salary arrears in two consecutive seasons and nearly lost their Super League status last season. Sources said that the club had used property loans as a means to get players to sign the salary and bonus confirmation form. Fortunately, after review, Cangzhou Lions were able to stay in the league. Under the leadership of the young manager Zhao Junzhe, the team performed well and completed the relegation task in advance. However, the problem of salary arrears has not been solved, and the players were in a slump at the end of the league, and their competitiveness declined. Recently, Cangzhou Lions suffered a series of defeats and seemed to show signs of giving up, but the club is still actively trying to save themselves. Cangzhou Lions have successfully coordinated the signatures of their local players, who know that only by staying in the league will the club be able to settle their outstanding debts. However, the foreign players insisted on getting their outstanding wages before signing, a stance that led to the club's initial review failing to pass. The same problem plagued Beijing Guoan, with foreign aid player De Souza confusing Guoan fans by publicly expressing his dissatisfaction over his demand for a pay rise. De Souza, a new foreign aid brought in by Guoan last season, had filled fans with hope, but his performances were unsatisfactory and sometimes even lazy. Eventually, Guoan decided to send him away early. Now, the issue of De Souza's signature has put Guoan's access in a difficult position, and the fans are overwhelmed. Both Guoan and Cangzhou Lions are working hard to find a solution and are looking forward to bringing fans news that the team's access is going well.
