In the hot summer, August 3 Beijing Youth Daily revealed that the Beijing Guoan club's pre-inspection team has successfully concluded its research on the "new home" in Rizhao, Shandong Province. It is reported that the site selection work is being carried out step by step, and the results will be revealed soon.
Last weekend, the Chinese Super League officially announced the new schedule from round 11 onwards. Due to various factors, Guoan is not yet able to host home matches in the capital city, and therefore chose to set up their home ground in Haikou. However, the conditions in Haikou are not ideal and Guoan continues to look for other cities to host their new home. This time, their eyes are locked on the city of Rizhao.
Rizhao, a city located in Shandong Province, has a strong emphasis on sports. Rizhao has a number of well-equipped stadiums, especially for soccer. Guoan selected Rizhao International Football Center is one of the best. Information shows that this new professional soccer stadium as a provincial key project, has been highly evaluated by the Guoan delegation. In particular, its excellent acoustics will provide players with a unique match experience.
Guoan delegation in Rizhao's research work has lasted several days. In addition to site visits to the venue, they also had in-depth exchanges with the local and higher authorities, focusing on anti-epidemic measures, team security and fan viewing and other related matters. At present, although there is no final conclusion, but it can be predicted that Guoan's home site selection work is progressing steadily. If all goes well, Guoan will have its first "home" game there in the 14th round, on August 22nd, against Guangzhou City.
Meanwhile, a report from the Beijing Youth Daily indicates that the entire Guoan team, which is actively preparing for the match in Beijing, is expected to travel to Zhengzhou on Saturday to prepare for Sunday's match against the Henan Songshan Longmen. Despite the fact that Guoan's next three rounds of matches will all be on the road, the team is still hoping to return to Beijing after the match for their regular away preparations. Of course, it all depends on the epidemic prevention and control situation in Beijing and the destination cities.
