On July 6, a piece of news quietly circulated in Beijing time: the second phase of the much-anticipated Chinese Super League will soon resume the home-and-away system. In the face of this change, veteran media personality Feng Zhen expressed his feelings on social media that although the league will usher in this new initiative, Guangzhou's home ground has changed and is no longer the familiar Tianhe Stadium.
In the blink of an eye, on July 12, the first phase of the Chinese Super League will soon draw to a close. Up to now, the CFL has not yet announced the specific schedule of the second stage. According to analysis, the second phase of the Super League is likely to give way to the East Asian Cup, postponed to the first half of August to restart, initially scheduled to restart on August 6th. According to the CFA's latest meeting, if time permits, the program of restoring home and away matches will also be advanced to the launch of the second phase of the league. Once the government departments where the Super League teams are based agree and the teams have no financial problems, then they will be able to play their matches at home.
Feng Zhen further elaborated in his personal social media, "Although the home-and-away system has been reinstated, Guangzhou's home ground is no longer Tianhe Stadium, but has been transferred to Guangzhou City's home ground on Yuexiu Mountain. As for the Tianhe Stadium, it is undergoing renovation for higher profile athletic competitions, so the Guangzhou team will set up their home ground in Panyu University Town. As for whether the Guangzhou team has enough money to continue using the Tianhe Stadium, that's another story."
