As the bottom team in the Chinese Super League last season, Qingdao failed to relegate successfully. This season, Qingdao team is supposed to play in the Chinese First Division. But now, they give up and directly announce their withdrawal from the professional league!
In the 2019 season, Qingdao team won the Chinese First Division championship and surpassed successfully! In the 2020 season, Qingdao team was relegated in a thrilling way. In the 2021 season, Qingdao team was full of difficulties, and finally in the promotion and relegation play-offs, Qingdao team lost 0-1 to Zhejiang team and was relegated to the middle league! That is to say, under normal circumstances, Qingdao team should compete in this season's Middle League.
Now, Qingdao has directly announced that they are withdrawing from the Chinese professional league.
Looking at the reasons revealed by the Qingdao team, it is also sympathetic. First, there is a huge gap in the club's funding! Second, the league's long-term centralized meeting system and the team's "neutral name" policy have also made the club's operation worse, and many sponsorships have not been cashed.
As a result, the Qingdao team was really unable to sustain itself, and the official announcement said, "We have made a very regrettable decision to withdraw from the Chinese Professional Football League." ”
That is to say, the Qingdao team has reached the current situation, that is, there is no money. Among them, the Qingdao team mentioned the problem of the neutral name of the team. That is to say, the Qingdao team withdrew, and the Football Association also had the responsibility. After all, the neutral name is what the Football Association insists on promoting, but the timing is not appropriate.
Next, the Qingdao team will focus on the development of youth training and campus football, Qingdao team official finally said - here, to the care, help and support of all sectors of society to express the most sincere thanks, I wish Qingdao football can achieve longer-term development and better results.
This season, the start of the Chinese Super League and the Chinese First Division is far away, which is too difficult for clubs and players. Arguably, this is the most difficult time for Chinese football. The national football team was out of the round of 12 and returned to the league, and there were constantly clubs that stopped playing and announced their withdrawal. Now, the players are looking forward to the start of the league, but these are not things that the players, the clubs and the FOOTBALL Association can decide. If this continues, more and more clubs will withdraw.
