Recently, the Gusau Region has faced unprecedented challenges. The super typhoon "Fireworks" has caused the July 25th event, which was originally planned to be held in Gusu, to be a very difficult event.

The tournament was forced to be postponed to August 15th. The stormy weather brought by this typhoon has caused serious obstacles to the daily training of the 8 teams in the Gusau Region. The persistent torrential rain caused the teams to close their designated training grounds and instead use the indoor fitness center and the only artificial turf for training.
The artificial turf, which was rarely used in the past, has now become the meat and potatoes of the teams, who are competing to line up to take turns using it. Since there are eight teams in the Gusau region, each team can only get one hour of training time per day.
The successive heavy rains have also tested the stadium facilities. In view of the Kunshan Sports Center lawn condition is already worrying, in order to protect the venue, originally scheduled for July 28 in this Shenhua and Wuhan, Hebei team against the Dalian people's game, had to be transferred to the Jiangyin Sports Center.

The game was adjusted to the Kunshan Sports Center.
In addition to the typhoon "fireworks", the epidemic in Nanjing also had an impact on the Gushu race. According to the Nanjing Municipal Health Commission's briefing on July 26, up to that time, Nanjing had reported a cumulative total of 75 confirmed local cases and 13 asymptomatic infections. Nanjing and Gusu are adjacent to each other, with frequent exchanges between the two places. In order to prevent and control the outbreak, the Gusu matches on July 28, July 31 and August 3 were closed to fans, with the much-anticipated Shanghai derby between Shenhua and Seaport being no exception. The first derby between the two teams this season saw 17,512 spectators flock to the Gusu Sports Center stadium, setting a record for attendance in the region.
