Affected by the epidemic, the third division of the first stage of the new season of the Chinese Super League has not yet been finalized, but according to the plan, the Chinese Football Association and the Chinese Football Federation preparatory team will submit the new season Chinese Super League start plan to the higher management department at the latest on the 15th of this month. This means that the organizers of the event are launching a tough battle for the selection of the competition area in recent days.

At present, the main candidates for the third competition area are mainly concentrated in cities such as Rizhao and Haikou.

The new season of the Chinese Super League is still expected to start as soon as the end of May.

　　Preparations for the start of the competition as early as the end of this month

　　Generally speaking, the organizers of the competition will inform the clubs of the specific plans at least two weeks before the start of the competition, so that they can make preparations before the competition.

　　At present, the Chinese Football Association and the preparatory team of the Chinese Football Federation are making every effort to promote the preparations for various competitions according to the goal of starting the competition at the end of this month.

For this reason, the latest time for submitting the final draft of the kick-off plan to the higher management department cannot exceed May 15.

　　Haikou has become a key candidate competition area

　　After the Meizhou Division and the Shanghai Division were finalized to enter the Dalian Division, the primary problem that plagued the start of the Chinese Super League was the selection of the third division.

　　As of the morning of May 10, due to factors such as the epidemic, there is still no definite answer to the question of whether Rizhao City can host the first stage of the Chinese Super League.

Information from the organizers of the event shows that it is very difficult to organize the event in Rizhao.

　　In this case, in order to strive for the early start of the league, the organizers of the event contacted and lobbied relevant cities through various channels.

After many cities gave up the competition due to epidemic prevention and control factors, Haikou City, which has successfully hosted the women's football club competition in the new season and has repeatedly undertaken the preparation and reception tasks of many national teams of men and women, has become the focus of the event organizers in the near future. One of the candidate cities to fight for.

However, given that there have been many variables in previous work, the specific results are still to be officially confirmed.

　　The Chinese Super League is the most important competition in China before November

　　It should be noted that the new season of the Chinese Super League is planned to start at the end of May at the earliest, and will end in early or mid-November, before the Qatar World Cup kicks off.

As the 19th Asian Games originally planned to be held in Hangzhou and the 31st World University Games in Chengdu have been confirmed to be postponed, the new season of the CBA Professional Basketball League can start in October or even later at the earliest. The Chinese Super League is the most important sports event held in China for nearly half a year from the end of May to mid-November, and it naturally attracts attention from all walks of life.
