According to the comprehensive reports of many media such as "The Paper" and "Beijing Toutiao", as of now, the Chinese Football Association and the China Football Federation have not submitted the opening plan of the 2022 season of the Chinese Super League to the superior departments, because the Chinese Super League will start at the end of May at the earliest, and the compression of time makes the previous 34 rounds of the plan likely to be unable to be realized, and it is possible to give up the 34 rounds of the round-robin points plan.
The biggest signal of the start of the Chinese Super League is that the Chinese Football Association and the China Football Federation submit the opening plan to the higher authorities, that is, the General Administration of Sport and higher levels. In fact, during the national football team's participation in the top 12 matches, the Chinese Football Association has prepared a number of sets of opening plans, only to wait for the national football team to submit to the higher authorities after returning home, and the opening plan at that time was to start in late April, including the plan for the start of the tournament around May 1.
However, the plan could not catch up with the changes, with the unexpected situation in Shanghai, the Shanghai two teams Shenhua and Haigang could not train normally, let alone go out of the city to play, the Chinese Football Association and the China Football Federation had to change the plan. However, as of now, the Shanghai two teams have not been able to go to the competition area normally, that is, Dalian, and the plans of the Chinese Football Association and the China Football Federation have not been submitted to the superior departments.
However, from the current news, the earliest start time of the Chinese Super League will also be the end of May, which is more than a month later than the original scheduled April 23. The original plan of the Chinese Football Association is to play 34 rounds of round robin in the new season, compared with the previous 30 rounds of competition, the number of rounds in the new season has increased by 4 rounds, and the time will be longer.
However, in order to complete all the matches before the start of the World Cup, but also added the FA Cup, the time is only 5 months, want to complete 34 rounds of round robin + FA Cup events, has become very cramped, so there is news that the Chinese Football Association or abandon the 34 round robin plan.
