Changjiang Daily News (Reporter Ma Wanyong) I finally have to say goodbye.

At 18:00 on January 25, Wuhan Yangtze River Football Club issued an official announcement announcing that it would no longer register to participate in future Chinese men's professional football matches.

This means that fans will no longer see that familiar orange in the professional league in the new season.

At that time, Hubei Zhongbo Football Club, the "only seedling" of professional football in Wuhan, Hubei, was looking for buyers everywhere because of its inability to operate.

At the time of crisis, Zall Holdings Co., Ltd. took over the offer and carried the banner of the "Han Army".

　　After entering the professional league in the 2012 season, the Wuhan Zall team (renamed to the Wuhan team in the 2021 season and the Wuhan Changjiang team in the 2022 season) has successfully "overtaken" twice in 2012 and 2018.

Up to now, Zall Holdings Co., Ltd. has continued to operate football clubs and organized teams to participate in the Chinese Professional Football League for 11 seasons, including 6 seasons in the Chinese League One and 5 seasons in the Chinese Super League.

　　On January 25, after the Wuhan Yangtze River Football Club announced that it would no longer register to participate in the Chinese men's professional football competition, the Wuhan Municipal Sports Bureau immediately issued a letter of thanks to Zall Holdings Co., Ltd. for its support of Wuhan professional football in the past 11 seasons Thanks for the contribution.

The letter of thanks praised Zall Holdings Co., Ltd. for "making a great contribution to the reform and development of football in Wuhan".

In 2022, professional football in Wuhan will create a record of "four championships in one year" and "double championships in one city".

The achievements and progress made by Wuhan football today are inseparable from Zall Holdings Co., Ltd.’s responsibility and dedication during the difficult period of Wuhan professional football, as well as its long-term persistence in football, which has continued the roots and laid a solid foundation for the development of professional football in Wuhan , Cultivated talents, and cultivated the football development ecology.
