Focusing on the May 2 newsletter, media source Feng Zhen broke the news that the much-anticipated Chinese Super League is scheduled to officially kick off on May 27, with the first phase of a month-long eight-round tournament.
Under the gloom of the epidemic, the schedule and venue of the new season of the Chinese Super League has been in a state of suspense. It is reported that the cities of Meizhou and Dalian have been basically determined to become the venue. Meizhou has shown great enthusiasm for hosting the tournament, and the venue only needs to be slightly adjusted to be put into use. In contrast, Dalian is a first-class city in terms of venue and experience in organizing tournaments, and is very likely to host both the Chinese Super League and Super League A this season. Kunming, as the original third tournament area, the local government is concerned because of the pressure of epidemic prevention. After many rounds of consultations, no consensus was reached, and eventually the CFA had to relook for other alternative venues.
According to reliable sources, the preparatory team of the Chinese Football Association (CFA) and the Chinese Football League (CFL) recently made a field visit to Rizhao, Shandong Province. For the Shandong Provincial Games, Rizhao has remodeled several stadiums and has successfully built the first professional soccer stadium in Shandong Province. In addition, the city has other soccer venues that cater to training and competition. If Rizhao can finally be selected as the venue, the process of starting the Chinese Super League is expected to move forward smoothly.
