In the absence of a clear official announcement, Dalian Yingbo team, Yan Xiangguan, Lv Peng, Sun Platinum and a number of other senior and new forces on the same field. As for the foreign aid lineup, Karanga, Mallet, Labouillard and five others seem to have been locked. Cao Haiqing, Cui Lin and other players list also surfaced.
Dalian Kuncheng Football Club has submitted an application to the Chinese Football Association (CFA) to set up Barracuda Bay as its first home ground. However, due to multiple factors such as the early start of the league, sharing the Barracuda Bay venue between Dalian Yingbo and Dalian Kuncheng does not seem to be a problem. If they are unable to travel for the match, fans can still return to Jinzhou Stadium to enjoy the event.
Recently, some fans asked me why the Dalian Sports Channel, commonly known as the "Rolling Frontal Channel", was able to broadcast the match between Dalian Yingbo and Dalian Kuncheng live. It is reported that the channel has not yet raised the funds to buy the broadcasting rights of the Chinese Super League and the Chinese League One, and even interviews with journalists need to be paid for by the clubs. As the local official media with the best resources, its current situation can be described as self-defeating and caught in a vicious circle.
While the lack of funds for the "Rolling Stage" is certainly a concern, what is even more embarrassing is that they are also in debt to the CFA and the Chinese Super League (CSL)!
Recall that in 2022, the Dalian Man team was registered in the Jinpu New District of Dalian, with broadcasting fees provided by a sports company with a registered address in the Export Processing Zone (Free Trade Zone). Interestingly, many of the media group personnel were not sure where the money came from, mistakenly believing it to be another state-owned company in the development zone. However, in 2023, for a variety of reasons, this company only provided the broadcasting fee for half the season, and the entire season was broadcast live and randomly, so it owed the Chinese Super League company half a year's worth of broadcasting fees. That's how it happened!
