　　China News Service, Beijing, January 13th. The Chinese Super League giant Shandong Luneng Club announced at noon on the 13th that it had received a reply letter from the Chinese Football Association regarding the application for a non-corporate name. The club’s declaration of "Shandong Taishan Football Club Co., Ltd." meets the requirements and agrees use.

　　On December 14 last year, the Chinese Football Association officially announced a new policy of neutralizing club names. A group of clubs such as "Shandong Luneng" did not meet the regulations and needed to be renamed.

　　Subsequently, each club submitted a neutral name plan.

On January 11, Shandong Luneng issued an announcement stating that due to related reasons, the club's first neutral name change submitted by the club failed to pass the review of the Chinese Football Association.

At that time, the club prepared materials in accordance with the requirements of the Football Association, renamed the affiliated companies, and arranged a re-declaration as soon as possible.

　　According to media reports, the reason why the neutral name "Shandong Taishan" submitted by Shandong Luneng failed to pass the audit of the Football Association is that the affiliated companies of Jinan Cultural Tourism have names and related companies related to "Taishan".

According to the company's investigation, the company subsequently changed its name to avoid the word "Taishan".

　　On the 13th, Shandong Luneng officially announced that "Shandong Taishan" passed the review.

　　In addition to Shandong, some clubs have also completed the name-neutral reform.

　　For example, Guangzhou Evergrande Club has completed its industrial and commercial registration, and "Guangzhou Evergrande Taobao Football Club Co., Ltd." has been renamed "Guangzhou Football Club Co., Ltd.".

Henan Jianye Club has also issued an announcement that it will be renamed "Luoyang Longmen Football Club". However, Jianye fans do not seem to buy it, and the protests are very strong. The club said that it would not rule out the possibility of further changing the name.

　　According to Tianjin media reports, the neutral name submitted by Tianjin TEDA has passed the audit of the Football Association and will be announced soon.
