Original title: The new season of the Chinese Super League will inevitably have the possibility of starting in mid-to-late June
Judging from the calendars previously finalized by FIFA and the AFC, as well as the Qatar World Cup schedule, the new season of the Chinese Super League will not start until late April at the earliest. And if the four teams of the Chinese Super League advance to the AFC Champions League, and all of them are arranged to play in the AFC Champions League, then there is a possibility that the Chinese Super League will start in mid-to-late June. According to the ideas of the Chinese Football Association and the preparatory team of the Chinese Football Federation, the new season of the Super League will end at the end of October or early November, that is, before the Qatar World Cup kicks off.
Since the Chinese team will face off once morest Japan in the seventh round of the top 12 and Vietnam in the eighth round respectively on January 27 and February 1, they will also play Saudi Arabia at home and away from home in the last two rounds of the top 12. The Oman team is scheduled to be played on March 24 and 29 respectively. Therefore, considering that the international player will undergo necessary medical isolation and observation following returning to China, the new season of the Chinese Super League will theoretically not start until late April at the earliest.
But another factor that cannot be ignored is that the East Asia region group stage of the new season AFC Champions League will be played in a centralized system from April 15 to May 1. At present, the Chinese Football Association has no intention to bid for this event. This means that if the four Chinese Super League clubs, Taishan, Haigang, Guangzhou and Yatai, all enter the AFC Champions League, and all send their main players to participate in the competition, while taking into account the Chinese Super League, the Chinese Super League may not be able to start in late April. Considering that there is still a period of international competition days from the end of May to mid-June, the Chinese Super League may start following the end of this period from the perspective of maintaining the integrity of its own schedule.
It should be noted that if the Chinese Super League starts later than May this year, then considering factors such as the Hangzhou Asian Games football match being held in September and the FA Cup match, the Chinese Super League in the new season wants to finish before the opening of the World Cup. It is also extremely compact, and more than one week of competition is inevitable.Return to Sohu, see more
