The advance working group of Beijing Guoan has completed the investigation and communication of the "home court", and is only waiting for the approval of various parties, including Shandong Rizhao. The news reported by the Beijing Youth Daily reporter has an echo-the morning of August 10th , Rizhao local and Shandong provincial authorities at all levels and the Chinese Football Association finally approved Guoan's application, and Guoan's future home games will be selected at the Rizhao International Football Center.
Choosing to play the "home" game in Shandong, Guoan has carefully considered, after all, Guoan is temporarily unable to play in Beijing or a relatively close city as a home game, and the neutral game arranged by the Football Association Haikou is far away from Beijing and the current climate is relatively hot , so the team has been working on whether it can choose a city that is relatively closer to Beijing and has a more suitable climate as the current home of Guoan.
In the end, considering various factors, Guoan selected Rizhao, a coastal city in Shandong.
Like Jinan, Qingdao and other Shandong cities with sports traditions, Rizhao is passionate about sports, especially football.
In addition, through the holding of the Provincial Games, a new professional football stadium was built in Rizhao, which is the Rizhao International Football Center selected by Guoan.
According to the previous feedback from the National Security Working Group, everyone is very satisfied with the hardware conditions of the venue.
This week, Li Ming, the general manager of Guoan Club, also went to Rizhao to participate in the final confirmation of the selection of the home court.
Now, it has become a fact that Guoan has "settled" in Rizhao, and this beautiful coastal city will also "own" a Chinese Super League team for the first time.
According to the relevant arrangements, if all goes well, Guoan will play the team's first "home" game there in the 14th round, on August 22, against the Guangzhou City team.

Other Chinese Super League teams want to move 'neutral home' from Haikou
After the Beijing Guoan team officially confirmed that the Rizhao International Football Center Stadium will be the main stadium of the Chinese Super League this season from the 14th round, other Chinese Super League teams that originally planned to "play at home" in the neutral division Haikou Division also intend to choose another home field. .
In view of the uncertainty brought about by the current epidemic situation in Hainan Province on the schedule of the Chinese Super League, if these teams can change their home games in different places, it will be beneficial to the normal operation of the remaining Chinese Super League matches.
Look for the possibility of off-site home
Shenzhen Football Club has already contacted the relevant parties in Huizhou and Foshan before the Chinese Super League kicked off at this stage, but as of now, the letter from the local government of the competition area required for the home game to agree to hold the game has not been implemented.
After the 11th round of the Chinese Super League with the Zhejiang team in the Haikou Division on the evening of August 5th, Shenzhen Football returned to Shenzhen the next day.
However, due to the impact of the epidemic in Haikou City, Shenzu was required to undergo quarantine observation at the Lihu Training Base after arriving in Shenzhen. During this period, he had to undergo "5 inspections in 7 days". After passing the inspection, he could be released from isolation on the 14th.
The team's originally planned match against the Dalian team on the 12th was also postponed.
In addition to Shenzhen Football Club, Cangzhou Lions Club is also looking into the possibility of implementing a different home game in Hebei Province recently.
It is reported that the club had previously intended to set up the home court in Shijiazhuang City, but the relevant approval procedures have also not been implemented yet.
Teams stranded in Haikou train normally
The Beiqing Daily reporter learned that, as the organizer of the event, the preparatory team of the Chinese Football Federation was still communicating and negotiating with relevant parties on the schedule arrangement of the next relevant rounds of the Chinese Super League until the afternoon of the 10th.
What is certain is that after the postponement of some events in the 12th round is confirmed, there will be some adjustments to the schedule of some of the next rounds.
At the end of last month, the schedule of the remaining Chinese Super League matches announced by the event organizer showed that August 30/31 and September 28/29 are reserved for the Chinese Super League.
In the competition cycle with a total span of 5 months, it is also planned to arrange 5 rounds of mid-week competitions, namely the 13th round (August 16th and 17th), the 18th round (September 13th and 14th), Round 21 (October 4, 5), Round 24 (October 18, 19), Round 28 (November 8, 9).
However, due to the impact of the epidemic, the arrangement of the 13th round is likely to be adjusted.
Tournament organizers may even increase the number of midweek games in the future.
As the epidemic in Hainan Province has brought uncertainties to the schedule of the Chinese Super League, the above-mentioned clubs generally have a strong desire to change their home stadiums.
However, as of now, the life and training of the 6 teams in the Haikou Division have remained normal, and each team has gone to the training ground for training as planned.
