In the early morning of April 3, a notice from the national soccer governing body was quietly published, announcing the approval of registration permits for 18 top league clubs, 17 intermediate league clubs, and 22 lower league clubs. However, the list did not include the Guizhou team from the Central League, which unfortunately missed the qualification for this season because it did not meet the threshold set by the Asian Football Confederation and overdue player salary issues. Meanwhile, Sichuan Minzhu of the Second League also failed to qualify because it did not submit its documents by the deadline.
In the face of this change, Du Wei, the former national soccer captain who played for Guizhou, voiced his gratitude to his former hosts on social media, "Thank you Guizhou, although we are passing through, we share laughter and tears, this is the true meaning of life."
