On January 9th, Beijing time, the second meeting of the 12th member congress of the Chinese Football Association was held in Beijing. The 2024 Chinese Football Association work report released at the meeting pointed out that significant progress has been made in the reform of the "separation of management and operation" in our professional league. All parties will accelerate the establishment of the Chinese Football Professional League Federation (CFLF), which has independent legal person status, and actively and steadily promote the registration of CFLF, improvement of league systems, and adjustment of operating entities. At present, the CFLF establishment plan has been submitted for approval according to procedures and is expected to be registered in Beijing before and after the Spring Festival of 2025. Authorized by the Chinese Football Association, it will mainly be responsible for the organization and commercial operations of the three-level professional league. These business projects originally managed by the Football Association will be separated. With the confirmed establishment of the CFLF, the "separation of management and operation" in Chinese football, after thirty-six years, has finally taken another solid step. According to relevant data, as early as 1989, during the preliminary stage of the professionalization reform of Chinese football, the Chinese Football Association proposed the suggestion of entity establishment, which later became known as "separation of management and operation".

It is said that the team faces the risk of being penalized with points deduction and demotion, which is a matter of great importance to the fans, as it concerns the stable development and status of the team in the league. This turmoil involves several personnel from Shandong Luneng. Coach Hao Wei, whose coaching ability and leadership role are self-evident; Jin Jingdao, whose active play on the field is an indispensable part of the team's tactics; Guo Tianyu, the young talent who was once the hope of the team's future but has now gone to play in Thailand; and Sun Zhunhao, who returned to South Korea but is currently unemployed due to a suspension order. These events are like a shroud of mist hanging over the team.

This news undoubtedly adds more uncertainty to the team's future development.
