With the successive official announcements of the change of neutral names of each team, the change of the neutral name of the Chinese Football Professional League clubs is also nearing completion. A few days ago, the neutral name of a middle club was also officially finalized. This name can be said to be quite distinctive. According to Zhu Yi, the administrator of the German transfer market website in China, the Chinese second club Kunlu Yunnan has officially changed its name to Kunming Zhenghe Shipbuilding.
When first heard the name, the fans seemed a little puzzled? After all, the new name of "Kunming Zhenghe Boatman" is still a bit too big compared with the club's old name. Prior to this, Yunnan Kunlu reported to the Chinese Football Association under its original name, but it was rejected because the club investor was Yunnan Kunlu Sports Culture Communication Co., Ltd., which did not comply with the Football Association's regulations on neutral names.
In early January this year, Yunnan Kunlu voted for the new team name on its official website. The five candidates at that time were "Yunnan Kunming City", "Yunnan Kunming Sports", "Yunnan Kunming League", "Yunnan Kunming native" and "Yunnan new Hongta". As a result, "Yunnan New Red Tower" became the first candidate for the new team name with 588 votes. The name "Kunming Zhenghe Ship Worker" was not among the five candidates. Column.
The reason why the club finally chose the new name "Kunming Zhenghe Boatman" was mainly because Zheng He, the great Chinese Ming , was born in Kunming in 1371 AD, and for To commemorate this great navigator, Kunming City also built Kunming Zhenghe Park in 1979.
Whether the word "boatman" is related to the new sponsor is not known. After all, there are many shipping companies in Kunming, the most famous of which is Kunming Shipbuilding Group. As a Chinese club with insufficient funds, Kunlu, Yunnan has been exposed many times in arrears of salary.The possibility of them looking for new sponsors is not ruled out, but if such a change of name is really related to the new company, is it a rim shot?
Previously, Henan Jianye changed its name to Luoyang Longmen, which caused a lot of controversy. In addition to the relocation factor, the word "longmen" also exists in Luoyang Cultural Tourism Group In the name of the company. This time, Yunnan Kunlu was renamed "Kunming Zhenghe Boatman". I wonder if it will be a similar operation.
