With the conclusion of the first stage of the Chinese Super League, whether preparations for home and away games can be resumed has attracted attention from the outside world.
At present, the working group selected by the Chinese Football Association preparatory group has begun to inspect the candidate competition areas of Chinese Super League clubs, and the home and away game system is being steadily advanced. Yesterday, the working group selected by the Chinese Football Federation preparatory group began to conduct on-site inspections of the candidate competition areas of the Chinese Super League clubs. They have already gone to the Jinan competition area to conduct an on-site survey of the Jinan Olympic Sports venues, turf and other hardware facilities to make sure they are well aware of it. Next, the inspection team will successively go to the home stadiums of the Chinese Super League clubs to inspect the venues and other hardware facilities.
After receiving the notice from Chinese Football Association about resuming home and away games, Henan Songshan Longmen Football Club immediately communicated with the governments of Zhengzhou and Luoyang . Although the Navigation Stadium, which has been the home stadium of Henan Songshan Longmen for more than two years, There were no games going on during this time, but the stadium lawn has been well maintained, and the team also played home games at home every now and then during training. The home court conditions can be guaranteed. The club is currently actively communicating with the governments of the two places on specific matters, and I believe there will be a reply soon. Recently, the club has also made various preparations to welcome the inspection team. Once the home court passes, the club will announce it as soon as possible.
Judging from the currently announced competition plan, the remaining stages of the Chinese Super League, that is, the 11th to 34th rounds, are scheduled to start on August 5 and end in mid-December. Due to limited time, it is impossible to meet the requirement of "one game per week". Currently, the remaining 24 rounds can only be run according to the rhythm of "one game per week + double games per week". However, due to the current intensification of the domestic epidemic, there may be variables in the schedule. If special circumstances occur, the Chinese Super League does not rule out the possibility of being postponed to next year.
Due to the different financial situations of the Chinese Super League clubs, it was previously reported that nearly half of the Chinese Super League teams are unable to play games at home and are preparing to choose neutral venues. In fact, the organizers of the event have sent a solicitation letter for opinions on the home field bid to their local sports management departments and other government departments through each club, and requested each club to provide specific feedback by July 20 at the latest. In other words, only until this point in time can we know the implementation of the home games of each Chinese Super League team. If the Chinese Super League successfully implements the home and away system, how to properly arrange the schedule and rationally design the matchups in each round for the remaining 24 rounds has become the focus of attention from the outside world. The organizers of the competition are likely to readjust the team matchup arrangements in each round.
