There are two main reasons behind the moderate delay in the deadline for submitting the confirmation letter for the entry of the qualifying salons for the new season of the China B League: on the one hand, the start of the new season of the China B League is much later compared to the Chinese Super League and the Chinese A League; on the other hand, in order to guarantee the stable operation of the salons in the China B League and to avoid a repeat of the mistake of the previous season when some of them had difficulties in sustaining themselves in the middle of the season, the Chinese Football Association (CFA) and the Chinese Football League (CFL) On the other hand, in order to guarantee the stable operation of the salons in the League B and avoid repeating the mistake of last season when some salons had difficulties in operation, the CFA and the CFL have asked the participating salons to pay a deposit of 600,000 RMB. Some industry insiders bluntly said, "If you can't even pay such a small deposit, how can you believe that such a salon can operate stably?"
At present, the Chinese Football Association (CFA), China Football Association (CFA) preparatory group for the opening of the new season of the professional league's imminent task is to determine as soon as possible the opening schedule and the results of the selection of the tournament area. It is reported that on the eve of the league meeting on the 3rd, the CFA preparatory group sent a survey team has left Beijing, went to Hangzhou, plans to complete the investigation of Hangzhou City, Meizhou City, the two Chinese Super League candidate cities within this week. The investigation includes the conditions of the game and training venues, the reception capacity of the competition area, the broadcasting conditions, transportation and security conditions. Next, the preparatory group of the CFL will also organize a special person to investigate the alternative areas of the Chinese A and B leagues.
As of April 5, the tournament organizers are still unable to specify which candidate city will host the Super League matches. Due to the recent rebound of epidemics in many parts of China, the epidemics in some of the cities where the professional league salons are registered are even more serious, which makes the work of organizing the matches face a lot of uncertainty and challenges. Once the ideal candidate cities are unable to host the tournament due to force majeure factors, the organizers will have to start other contingency plans. Thus, the survey and other pre-tournament preparations are full of uncertainties and the workload is huge.
According to the results of previous communication between the Chinese Football Association (CFA) and the Chinese Football League (CFL), the new season of the Chinese Super League (CSL) was originally planned to start later this month, on April 28th or 29th. However, affected by the epidemic and the national football team delayed a few days to return home and other factors, the implementation of this plan is increasingly difficult. According to the epidemic prevention regulations, the earliest the national football team and U23 national football players who have arrived in Haikou can be released from quarantine until the 24th of this month, and then return to various places. They usually need at least a few days of rest and recuperation. As a result, the Chinese Super League will likely not start until early May at the earliest, after the international labor holiday.
