Chinese football is struggling to move forward
On February 28, Jiangsu Football Club, the champion of the Chinese Super League, ceased the operation of its teams. In addition, there are a number of clubs at all levels that have withdrawn or disbanded before this season. The Chinese football team did not perform well in the 12th round of the 2022 FIFA World Cup Asian Qualifiers in Qatar, and the qualifying situation was precarious; Li Xiaopeng succeeded Li Tie as head coach. Despite the difficulties, Chinese football has not stopped developing. Preparations for the 2023 AFC China Asian Cup were carried out in an orderly manner, with the logo and the concept of the event (unity, sharing, passion, excellence). Professional clubs have completed the reform of "de-enterprise club names".
