In recent times in Chinese football, what fans have been most concerned about is undoubtedly the entry list for the 2025 season of China's various professional leagues. Ultimately, the Chinese Football Association announced that teams such as Cangzhou Lions, Guangzhou Team, and Hunan Xiangtao did not meet the entry conditions and were unable to participate in the new season of Chinese professional football leagues. Shortly after the announcement by the Chinese Football Association, these three teams successively issued official statements announcing their dissolution. However, interestingly, just less than ten days after Guangzhou Team announced its dissolution, this team is very likely to be reborn through a shell company, with the goal of advancing to the Super League. Among these three teams that failed to qualify for the new season of Chinese professional football leagues, Guangzhou Team is undoubtedly the one that fans feel most regretful and sorry for. Guangzhou Team was once the dominant force in Chinese and Asian football, winning the Chinese Super League title eight times and topping the AFC Champions League twice to become the Asian champion. However, such a team ultimately dissolved due to excessive debt, failing to gain entry into the China League One. It must be said that the dissolution of Guangzhou Team can also be considered a kind of release, after all, burdened with so much debt, it would be almost impossible to recreate past glories. The most heartbroken about the dissolution of Guangzhou Team are naturally the fans of Guangzhou Team. At the recent "Shenggang Cup," many Guangzhou Team fans even directed…

Although the entry list has been published for some time, the final participation list and situation for the new season's three-tier leagues have not yet been announced. Passing the entry only represents the ability to participate in professional leagues, but which league to participate in is determined by the final league list. The difference lies in situations such as promotion and relegation penalties, so there are still distinctions between the entry list and the league list. With the loss of entry qualifications for Cangzhou Mighty Lions, Guangzhou Team, and Hunan Billows, the only suspense left for this year's league is the league list. It is reported that the Football Association has prepared the league list for the 2025 season, which means that the promotion and relegation penalty situations have been determined. It is expected that the final suspense will be revealed within this week, and the final league list will be announced. After the announcement of the list, the schedule arrangement will follow. Time passes quickly, and there is only one month left before the start of the new season. Domestic league fans finally have games to watch again. It is reported that the Football Association has notified three teams for promotion, namely Meizhou Hakka, Shaanxi United, and Shenzhen Youth, to replace Cangzhou Mighty Lions, Guangzhou Team, and Hunan Billows respectively. Unless unexpected, these three teams will accept the promotion. Since these three clubs have already been notified of promotion and no other teams have been notified, it means that the ban on the club's punishment will temporarily cease, or…

Cangzhou Lions, after failing to meet the entry requirements announced by the Chinese Football Association, quickly declared that they would not be able to continue participating in professional league matches. As a result, all their players have become free agents. So where have the coaching staff and players who helped the team avoid relegation last season gone? Let's take a look. Firstly, head coach Li Xiaopeng and assistant coach Hao Junmin have joined Qingdao Hainiu. Li Xiaopeng, a native of Qingdao, made a well-considered decision to return to his hometown team after much thought. He said, "My hometown team needs me, and I should not refuse under any circumstances. Since I've agreed to take over the team, I must keep my word and give it my all to achieve the best results within my capabilities." Goalkeepers: Shao Puliang, Han Rongze Shao Puliang, as the team captain on the field, played 21 games for Cangzhou Lions last season, making 79 saves. Currently, Shao Puliang is undergoing trials with Wuhan Three Towns and is expected to join the team. Although he is already 35 years old, he has rich experience and can mentor the young goalkeepers at Wuhan Three Towns. With the departure of national goalkeeper Liu Dianzuo, the goalkeepers Huang Zhouxin, Chen Xing, and Guo Jiayu at Wuhan Three Towns are all only 20 years old. Han Rongze's target is Qingdao Hainiu. In the "summer window" of 2024, Han Rongze was loaned to Cangzhou Lions. Last season in the Chinese Super League, Han Rongze played 7 games for Cangzhou Lions, contributing…

Song Kai's appointment could not prevent the dissolution of football teams. Within a single day, three teams disbanded, with one planning to start anew, another leaving fans unable to say goodbye, and Song Kai himself facing a difficult situation. The Chinese Football Association has released another list of approved entries, but the list still does not include Super League team Cangzhou Mighty Lions, China League One team Guangzhou FC, and China League Two team Hunan Billows. Both Cangzhou Mighty Lions and Guangzhou FC had previously been listed as having completed their debt clearance by the Football Association, but upon the release of the list, multiple players from both teams raised objections, including well-known players such as Zheng Kaimu from Cangzhou Mighty Lions and Wei Shihao from Guangzhou FC. In response to the numerous objections from players, the Football Association had to step in to explain that Cangzhou Mighty Lions and Guangzhou FC had only cleared their debts but had not yet passed the entry list. On January 6th, Hunan Billows announced its dissolution, followed shortly by Cangzhou Mighty Lions. In recent years, Cangzhou Mighty Lions has been struggling to avoid relegation. The 2024 season saw the team manage to stay in the Super League thanks to the arrival of Li Xiaopeng. However, the team's fate ultimately ended in dissolution. Despite this, Cangzhou Mighty Lions expressed its intention to start over from the China League Champions. The dissolution of Cangzhou Mighty Lions did not seem to stir much discussion among fans, who appeared relatively calm. In contrast, the later announcement of…

Translation: The Qingdao Seacow team performed mediocrely in both the Chinese Super League and the FA Cup last season, leading to doubts about the coaching abilities of their head coach, Yassen. After comprehensive consideration, the Seacows have decided to appoint the young coach Li Xiaopeng as their new head coach. Li Xiaopeng's appointment as the new head coach of the Seacows is a widely anticipated move. Last season, when he served as the head coach of the Cangzhou Lions, he had commendable performances. The Cangzhou Lions were able to complete their relegation battle in the Chinese Super League despite being on the brink of relegation, thanks to Li Xiaopeng's on-site command and tactical arrangements. Unfortunately, after completing the relegation task in the Chinese Super League, the club's wage arrears issue remained unresolved. Therefore, Li Xiaopeng chose to leave the Cangzhou Lions and take over his hometown team, the Seacows. With the assistance of this young coach, the Seacows are sure to undergo a qualitative change. At the same time, Li Xiaopeng is preparing to give newcomer Cao Zheng an opportunity at the goalkeeper position. This is because the Seacows' main goalkeeper, Mu Pengfei, is already an aging veteran. Mu Pengfei performed mediocrely for the Seacows last season, making some unexpected mistakes in key matches. Therefore, it is a correct decision for Li Xiaopeng to prepare for the future by cultivating Cao Zheng to take over. Cao Zheng is a very promising goalkeeper who has previously played as a starter for Luneng. At that time, Luneng was affected by special reasons…

The "earthquake" in Chinese football is not far away as we enter 2025. According to multiple media figures and journalists, the Chinese Football Association (CFA) will announce the entry list within a week, with the names of Guangzhou FC and Cangzhou Mighty Lions likely absent. This month, the CFA has published twice the list of clubs that have completed debt repayment, with all teams from China's three-tier league successfully passing. However, after these two lists were announced, many teams received complaints, among which Guangzhou FC and Cangzhou Mighty Lions received the most, also having the greatest impact. Guangzhou FC faced public confrontations from former players like Wei Shihao, while Cangzhou Mighty Lions was questioned by ten players. Naturally, these two clubs became the focus of the CFA's investigation. This week, Cangzhou Mighty Lions released a statement claiming that the team had raised sufficient funds. However, the timing of the funds' arrival was one day later than the stipulated deadline. According to regulations, the CFA cannot allow Cangzhou to pass the entry. As a result, the Cangzhou Mighty Lions players collectively appealed to the CFA for leniency. Media figure Miao Yuan revealed that the CFA will announce the final entry list within a week. "We will see what the final entry list for the three-tier leagues looks like in the coming week; everyone can wait and look forward to it." However, the list may not include the names of Cangzhou and Guangzhou FC. Journalist Li Xuan emphasized, "So far, there is no news that Cangzhou Mighty Lions might pass the entry,…

Cangzhou Lions Club has issued an open letter, attaching signatures from many players. At the same time, many players and staff have chosen to support the club under the Football Association. For a moment, whether Cangzhou Lions Club, which already has 60 million on its books, should pass the entry has become a focus of public opinion. However, does money reaching the club's account equal solving wage arrears? After Cangzhou Lions Club sent out an open letter, media quickly exposed that if it passes the entry, there will be a larger amount of funds than 60 million RMB transferred to the club's account. If this news is true, Cangzhou Lions Club, which has been short of money in recent years, may be able to get rid of financial difficulties in the new season. It is also because they saw 60 million RMB lying on the club's account that many players who were owed wages reached a reconciliation with the club over past salary issues. If Cangzhou Lions Club solves the problem, it is naturally justified to pass the entry. However, the problem is that after the 60 million arrived on December 26th, it is still lying on the club's account, and it has not been used to pay back wages to the players in the past two days. From December 18th, after the Football Association announced the second batch of completed debt-clearing list, many people including Zheng Kaimu publicly raised doubts. During the publicity period, the Football Association received 26 appeals about Cangzhou Lions Club. The Football Association once sent…

Currently, the Chinese Super League is still in the off-season, but the start time for the new season has been determined. The issue of league entry for the new season has also received special attention from fans. At present, most of the Chinese Super League teams are relatively safe, and there are no major problems in obtaining entry for next season. In particular, Wuhan Three Towns, which previously had a risk of dissolution, now has a new sponsor, and local authorities are also strongly supportive, so their crisis can be considered temporarily resolved. However, there is still one team that is on the brink of dissolution, which is Cangzhou Mighty Lions. The crisis of Cangzhou Mighty Lions actually erupted a long time ago. Last season, the team's foreign aid Oscar chose to leave the team at a critical moment due to arrears issues. Although the team eventually completed the relegation task, the crisis during this off-season has not been resolved. The issue of arrears is still causing a stir. It is reported that Cangzhou Mighty Lions fell into a serious financial dilemma during this off-season, and the players' wages have been delayed. Although the Football Association previously announced that Cangzhou Mighty Lions had completed the entry, both domestic players and foreign aids of the club have voiced their demands for wages on social media. Among them, Cangzhou players Zheng Kaimu, Wang Peng, Mo Xuchen, Wen Da, and others even made a fuss at the Football Association. They united to demand wages, with great momentum. Foreign aid Oscar even took Cangzhou…

The entry for the 2025 season remains undecided, and at this pace, it is likely that the entry results will not be announced until after the transfer period begins. This would leave insufficient time for teams to prepare and for players to transfer. In fact, there are only a few teams currently in dispute. The first batch of debt-clearing list has no controversy, and the second batch, including Guangzhou FC, Cangzhou Mighty Lions, and Hunan Billows, were reported during the public notice period, but have since been resolved. However, there is some controversy over the timing of Cangzhou Mighty Lions' resolution. Cangzhou Mighty Lions received a sum of 60 million yuan and reached a settlement with all the players who were owed wages, submitting the relevant signed materials to the Football Association. However, the submission was one day beyond the stipulated time, making the team's situation unclear. Opinions on this matter vary; some believe that the Football Association should handle matters impartially, while others think that the Football Association should not overcorrect. Whether or not this one day should be taken seriously has also posed a dilemma for the Football Association. According to media personality Miao Yuan, Cangzhou Mighty Lions may really be in trouble this time, as the Football Association still has not allowed them entry. The Football Association has its own timeline for announcing the entry list, which is within a week after New Year's Day. However, before the announcement to the public, they will send advance notice to the clubs. Now that the time for the Football…

Cangzhou Lions may have encountered a big problem. According to media reports, on December 25th, the relevant parties in Cangzhou City completed the process, and the eagerly anticipated first installment of 60 million yuan finally materialized. However, it is regrettable that the money will not arrive until the next day, one day later than the time required by the Football Association. There was also a more absurd and anxious topic among the people. The aforementioned relevant parties have been at odds with Cangzhou Lions Club: this money is purely for "access," and cannot be diverted for other uses. In other words, you must obtain access first before I can release the funds. The club stated that without seeing the money, the Football Association would not grant access first. To put it bluntly, everyone is afraid of "chicken flying and egg breaking." As a result, as of December 30th, the Football Association has not announced whether Cangzhou Lions have obtained access. Two days earlier, a well-known media person surnamed Li claimed that according to his understanding, the only team that might not pass the access is Hunan Xiangtao. However, a well-known media person surnamed Miao expressed that according to the "target deadline" promised by the Football Association, if there is no continuous strong intervention, Cangzhou Lions' access "seems uncertain." Miao further explained: In terms of access issues, Cangzhou Lions faced two problems: First, many players demanded wages on Weibo, embarrassing the Football Association. A few days later, the club sent an open letter demanding access, "which may make many people uncomfortable."…
