According to Beijing Youth Daily on the 23rd, the program submitted by the CFA and the CFL preparatory team for the start of the 2022 Chinese Super League and Chinese League A has been approved by higher-level sports management authorities. However, in view of the complexity of the epidemic prevention work, the program needs the consent of the health department and higher-level departments before implementation. It is reported that the new season of the Chinese Super League and Chinese League A are scheduled to kick off on June 3 in Haikou and June 8 in Dalian respectively. At present, the teams are arriving at the first stage of the league tournament, and the tournament organizers have also started preparations for the opening activities.
Haikou Wuyuanhe Stadium has been identified as the third match area of the Chinese Super League, the new season of the Chinese Super League and the Chinese First Division have all been determined. 16 May, the Football Association and the Chinese Football League submitted to the sports management department of the new season of the league to start the final draft of the program.
The Beijing Youth Daily reporter revealed that the "start plan" has been approved by the sports management department. However, due to the importance of epidemic prevention, the program can only be implemented after the approval of the health department and other higher-level departments. The organizers said that they have done a lot of preparatory work in advance, and fully communicated with the relevant departments, so they are confident that the plan will eventually be approved.
According to the opening program, the new season of the Chinese Super League will be opened on June 3, to the end of mid-November. The matches will be played in three divisions, Dalian, Haikou and Meizhou, and the opening ceremony of the Chinese Super League will be held on the evening of June 3 at the Wuyuanhe Stadium in Haikou. The opening match will pit defending champion Shandong Taishan against another team in the same group.
The new season of the Central League is scheduled to open on June 8 and is expected to end in late November. The matches will be organized in three zones: Dalian, Nanjing and Tangshan. Dalian will be the dual-region city for the new season's Chinese Super League and Chinese League A. The opening ceremony is scheduled to be held in the Dalian region. The opening match will be played between Dalian and another team in the same division.
It is reported that other teams from the Chinese Super League will also arrive at the tournament area in the near future. The organizers have reminded the clubs not to arrange for their teams or members to travel to medium to high-risk areas in the country in the near future, so as not to cause problems for the teams in the tournament area.
It is worth mentioning that the "opening program" is based on 18 teams participating in the new Chinese Super League season. However, the Chongqing Liangjiang Athletic Team has recently refused to train due to long-term salary arrears. As of noon on May 23, the problem had not yet been resolved. The FA and the CFL preparatory team have been closely monitoring the team's development, and on the other hand, they have started to formulate a plan to deal with the team's withdrawal or disbandment. At present, it seems that if Two Rivers Athletic Team confirms that it will not play in the new season of the Chinese Super League, the organizers will not arrange for other teams to replace it. The team will be sentenced to a "0-3 loss" in the new season and will automatically occupy a relegation spot. However, the organizers and club members hope that the team can overcome the difficulties and participate in the competition.
With Chongqing Liangjiang Athletic's participation still uncertain, the opponent for the opening match against Taishan has yet to be determined. However, preparations for the opening event of the new season of the Chinese Super League have been quietly launched. It is reported that the opening ceremony will be held on the evening of June 3, affected by the epidemic, the event will be held briefly, the length of no more than half an hour.
