On the afternoon of April 25, Beijing time, the Chinese Football Association officially announced the list of clubs participating in professional leagues at all levels in the 2022 season, all 18 teams in the Chinese Super League were released, and more than 10 clubs with unpaid wages were still listed. In addition, the number one lucky person born in the domestic 3rd division league, the Xinjiang Tianshan Snow Leopards, who were relegated to the central second division last season, have returned to the middle division.
This season, when the domestic third-tier league will open, the specific schedule, etc., the Football Association has no clear announcement, everything will wait until the national team finishes the World Preliminary Round.
Previously, the Football Association released the solution of wage arrears and related penalties for clubs in the new season, setting up three time nodes for wage arrears in the 2021 season and before, and showing mercy to more than 10 clubs in the Chinese Super League.
The 18 participating teams in the 2022 Chinese Super League are as follows: Shandong Taishan, Shanghai Haigang, Guangzhou, Changchun Yatai, Beijing Guoan, Shenzhen, Guangzhou City, Hebei Team, Shanghai Shenhua, Henan Songshan Longmen, Cangzhou Lions, Tianjin Jinmen Tiger, Chongqing Liangjiang Athletic, Wuhan Yangtze River, Wuhan Sanzhen, Meizhou Hakka, Zhejiang Team, Chengdu Rongcheng.
In order to bring together all the clubs in the league to participate in the competition, the FOOTBALL Association has changed the rules again and again, and the credibility and authority have been seriously affected. Judging from the current super-large environment, after the end of this season, it is not excluded that there will be clubs that continue to owe wages, and the Football Association will continue to be merciful at that time.
In addition to the Chinese Super League, the list of clubs admitted to the League A and the Chinese Second Division has also been determined, due to the withdrawal of Guizhou and Qingdao, Beijing Polytechnic and Xinjiang Tianshan Snow Leopards have returned to the Chinese First Division.
Compared with Beijing Institute of Technology, Xinjiang Tianshan Snow Leopard is the third time to return to the Chinese First League in 4 years, which can be called the number one lucky person in the third-tier league, and it is difficult to relegate, including the relegation of the 2018 Chinese First Division, the 2019 season to return to the Chinese First Division; the 2020 Chinese First Division relegation, the 2021 season to return to the Chinese First Division; the 2021 Central League relegation, and the 2022 season to return to the Chinese First Division.
In this regard, fans are hotly discussed: "Is it so difficult to relegate? "Zhongjia lift", "I feel that the Xinjiang Tianshan Snow Leopard is more difficult to relegate than to promote to the Chinese Super League".
