After 14 days of collective quarantine and 7 days of community health observation in Suzhou and Shanghai respectively, the quarantine measures will be officially lifted on July 8 for our men's soccer team as well as the CFA Top 40 pre-tournament workforce. The players will then assemble with their clubs in preparation for the upcoming restart of the Chinese Super League, while strictly adhering to the anti-epidemic regulations of each location.

After recently returning home to Shanghai for self-isolation, will also return to Spain in the near future to join the Spanish team to prepare for the new season of La Liga. With the return of the national football team to the "league moment", the CFA has also stepped up the pace to promote the preparation of the national football team of the 40 strong match security and service work.
At noon on June 17th, our men's football team and the CFA Top 40 pre-tournament work team returned to Shanghai from Dubai, UAE, and were stationed in the epidemic-preventive red zone of the Suzhou tournament area that evening. According to the regulations on the immunization of Chinese immigrants, all members of the delegation were first quarantined in the Suzhou Match Area for 14 days. After the expiration of the quarantine period, the national football team and the members of the work team collectively transferred to the Shanghai Municipality, to continue to carry out 7 days of community health observation.
It is reported that the national football team and the Football Association work team in Shanghai during the period, respectively, stayed in Minhang District and Pudong New District, two hotels. Wu Lei and some of the members in Shanghai returned home to test themselves during this period. In accordance with the provisions of the whole team and the FA work team members will be completely lifted on July 8 after the entry of isolation. 7 morning, all members of the national football team accepted the nucleic acid test.
Undoubtedly, the international players will face unprecedented challenges in the next six months. From May 15, when they assembled in Shanghai to prepare for the second half of the 40-team tournament, to July 8, when the quarantine was lifted, the vast majority of them have already experienced nearly two months of collective life. Although in Shanghai, they were able to get together with their families for a short time, but will soon be put into a new round of the league campaign. The national football team also re-entered the "league moment".
It is worth noting that Beijing Guoan team, Shandong Taishan team, Changchun Yatai team recently arrived in Shanghai to prepare for the Chinese Super League, these clubs and the national football team in the same hotel. Part of the international players in the national team and the club's mission can be said to be "seamless".
Of course, during the epidemic, the Chinese Super League clubs have strictly enforced the provisions of the epidemic prevention. For example, Shanghai Harbour Club and Shandong Taishan Club clearly required that the club's international players must strictly abide by the epidemic prevention regulations, with the national team in Shanghai to accept collective isolation until the expiration of the period before returning to the club. Taishan team plans to leave Shanghai on the 8th and return to Jinan. After two days of rest on the 8th and 9th, the team will travel to Guangzhou to participate in the Chinese Super League. Wang Dalei, Jin Jingdao, Wu Xinghan, Artemisia Junmin, Liu Binbin and Ji Xiang from Taishan Club will stay in Shanghai to recuperate and go directly to Guangzhou to join the team.
The Beijing Guoan team arrived in Shanghai on the afternoon of July 4, and then trained there for about a week. Zhang Xizhe, Zhang Yuning, Ji Zhongguo, Li Ke, Li Lei, Yu Dabao, several international players, not surprisingly, will meet with the Guoan team during this period, and then return to Suzhou together, to participate in the fifth round of the Super League next week and Hebei's bye game.
It is reported that the national football coaching team, including head coach Li Tie, will on the one hand refine the 40 strong team training program, on the other hand, will also continue to deepen the investigation of the Chinese Super League, focusing on the performance of the national players.
According to the plan, the CFA Top 40 working team will depart on July 9 to return to Beijing. As with the non-stop work of the national football coaching team, the members of the working group will next shift their focus to the service guarantee for the preparation of the national football team for the 12-team tournament. According to the requirements of the AFC, the participating member associations of the 12-team tournament should submit their home stadiums and alternative home stadiums organization plan before July 16th. Therefore, the working group will launch specific work around this goal in the near future. It is understood that they have already begun to communicate with the AFC and the member associations belonging to the same group of opponents on the organization of the venue for each round of matches. From the current situation, Shanghai will become the national football 12 home field of the primary candidate for the venue to accept the focus of the working group's investigation.
At the preparatory meeting for the preparatory work of the China Professional Football Salon Federation on July 4, the main leaders of the CFA expressed their heartfelt thanks to the salons for the support they have given to the national football team's preparations for the 40-team tournament and their work in the tournament.
