The league is likely to remain a conference system in the first stage.
Earlier, the Chinese Football Association asked soccer clubs at all levels for opinions on restoring the home-and-away system for the new season, and the results showed that feedback from all parties supported the proposal.

Three packages were prepared for the league opener.
Option 1: Start on time, with clubs that are in a position to do so practicing the home-and-away system, and those that are not in a position to do so adopting the conference system, and then reverting to the home-and-away system when conditions permit.
Option 2: Start the tournament on time, adopt the conference system in the first phase, and resume the home-and-away system in subsequent phases according to the situation. Taking "10+8+8+8" as an example, if the first 10 rounds are under the conference system, then it will end around mid-June, when the home-and-away system is expected to be resumed in July, and the pressure on prevention and control is expected to be alleviated at that time.
Option 3: Postpone the start time and go straight to a home-and-away system.
Currently, from all opinions, the second option is the most likely to start the tournament. 18 teams will be evenly distributed into three groups and play the first 10 rounds of the first stage in three zones.
Therefore, it is urgent to start the selection process of the race area. Selection conditions include: 1. Local government support for organizing the event; 2. Candidate cities should preferably have a

It is reported that the Chinese Football Association has contacted the Guangzhou Football Association this week in the hope that Guangzhou will host the new season
