Since the Chinese Super League is held on New Year's Eve, lasting until January 4 next year, because the schedule is very dense, it is impossible to intersperse other events, so that the closely watched FA Cup final can only be staged after the end of the league, and the two sides are also direct competitors of the league's championship, so the next Shanghai Harbor and Shandong Taishan will usher in 3 duels, 2 championship battles are staged, from the perspective of strength, after Guangzhou and Guoan basically withdrew from the championship due to lack of strength, SIPG and Taishan are currently the two strongest teams recognized in domestic football.
At present, the location of the FINAL of the FA Cup is Chengdu Phoenix Mountain, which has recently been completed and is one of the most advanced professional football stadiums in China. According to the informed media, the Football Association has an arrangement plan for the final of the FA Cup, confirming the participation in Chengdu Phoenix Mountain, and the competition time is set at 19:30 on January 9, 2021. Moreover, there is good news for fans, this game is expected to be open to the public, the Football Association is also in accordance with this plan to report to the superior department, as to whether it can be passed or not to wait for the approval result, but at least from the attitude point of view, the Football Association still hopes to create a warm atmosphere of the game.
Therefore, it is not difficult to understand why the Football Association has not yet officially announced, mainly waiting for the audit. As long as the plan is finalized, the Taishan and Harbor teams can prepare in advance, after all, it involves issues such as moving to the arena and adapting to the new venue, in addition, once the venue is opened, it also involves ticket sales.
If you play in Chengdu, it is relatively easy for local fans to watch the ball, mainly Taishan fans and harbor fans, which may involve expeditions, and it is more necessary to prepare in advance, after all, the 2 seasons of the Chinese Super League are centralized competition system, so the expedition again, the fans must also have a process of adaptation.
In the preparation of the FA Cup final, the original intention of the FA is to boost morale, in the past year, the negative news of domestic football has been frequent, on the one hand, it has hit the confidence of investors, the professional arena has no financial support, it is difficult to last; on the other hand, players and fans are also indispensable elements of the field, the former encountered unpaid wages, the latter can not watch the game on the spot, so everyone hopes to be able to come to the extreme, and the FA Cup final is also an opportunity to bottom out, if it can be successfully completed, It also has a role in promoting the development of Chinese football.
