The level of development of a professional league largely determines the level of the national team to which it belongs, especially for Chinese football. In the absence of players who can go out of the higher-level league, the selection of our national football team can only be placed in the Chinese Super League, which represents the highest level of Chinese professional football. However, in the last decade, the development of our professional league has also undergone many changes, and some teams have even had to disband for various reasons. Here, we will make a brief inventory of the clubs that have been disbanded since professional football, and welcome to add them in the comment area.
