On February 11, according to Beijing Youth Daily, the 2022 season of the Chinese Super League is expected to start in late April and end in mid-November. After the fiasco in the round of 12, the opening of the Chinese Super League can be said to be a rare good news for Chinese men's football.
It is said that the Chinese Football Association and the preparatory group of the China Football Federation and all clubs are inclined to fully restore the home-and-away system of the three-tier professional league. The new season of the Chinese Super League is expected to start as soon as April 23 and end on November 13, about a week before the Start of the World Cup in Qatar. At the same time, the long-term training of the national football team similar to that that appeared last year and the previous year should not appear again this year.
The group stage of the new season's AFC Champions League East Asia region will be held in a centralized format from April 15 to May 1. So far, the Chinese Football Association has no intention of bidding for this event.
This means that if the four Chinese Super League clubs of Taishan, Harbor, Guangzhou and Yatai can all enter the AFC Champions League, then in the case of the Chinese Super League starting in late April, they must make a trade-off between the league and the AFC Champions League. Because once they play in the AFC Champions League, entry-exit quarantine may make the team need two sets of squads to cope with the double-line event.
