With the announcement of the new season's entry list by the Football Association, it can be seen that Guangdong Province has a total of 8 professional teams this year, including Meizhou Hakka, Shenzhen New Pengcheng, and others. However, as the brightest star, Guangzhou Team has fallen into the long river of history, which is regrettable. This super giant, which once won the Chinese Super League (CSL) title eight times, has experienced financial crises in consecutive seasons. Coupled with the public accusation of unpaid wages by Wei Shihao during the off-season, it became the last straw that broke the camel's back. The team has officially announced its dissolution, with Wei Shihao becoming the biggest culprit. However, just two weeks after the dissolution, there seems to be hope for a reversal of the situation. According to the "Football News," Guangzhou Team still has the possibility of revival. What exactly is going on? It is reported that Guangzhou Team is pinning all its hopes on Guangzhou Dandelion. It is understood that Guangzhou Dandelion is interested in acquiring Guangzhou Team, and its boss, Pan Weisi, has shown strong interest. If the acquisition is successful, Guangzhou Team will have the opportunity to revive through Guangzhou Dandelion. The key at present is whether Guangzhou Team can completely sever its ties with Evergrande Group. If Guangzhou Team can become completely independent, they will welcome a new life after being acquired. It is reported that the new backer, Pan Weisi, is eyeing the high-quality asset of Evergrande Football. If Guangzhou Team can merge, Guangzhou Dandelion will also be…

With the toll of the bell marking the arrival of 2025, Guangdong football once again finds itself in the spotlight. The failure of Cangzhou Lions to pass the league entry review has paved the way for Meizhou Hakka to return to the Chinese Super League as a replacement. At the same time, Shenzhen Youth has successfully advanced to the China League One, adding another spark to the prosperity of Guangdong football. This year, eight teams from Guangdong Province will compete in domestic professional leagues, despite the fading of former powerhouse Guangzhou Evergrande. However, the vitality and competitiveness of Guangdong football remain undiminished. Guangzhou Team, which has twice won the AFC Champions League and claimed the Chinese Super League title eight times, faces the crisis of dissolution due to its failure to pass the entry review. Yet, amidst despair, a glimmer of hope for rebirth quietly emerges. Guangzhou Dandelion Club, a rising star in the China League Two, has now become the last straw for Guangzhou Team to pin its hopes on. The predecessor of Guangzhou Dandelion Club was Guangzhou Anhua, established by investor Pan Weisi after acquiring the youth team following the dissolution of Guangzhou City (formerly Guangzhou R&F). Starting from amateur leagues, it has steadily climbed to the China League Two, demonstrating its tenacity and potential. After securing promotion to the China League Two, Dandelion considered acquiring high-quality assets from Guangzhou Team but held off due to the possibility of Guangzhou Team passing the entry review at that time. Now, with Guangzhou Team on the brink of dissolution, cooperation…

On January 15th, the Chinese Football Association officially announced the list of participating clubs for the 2025 season of the Chinese Super League (CSL) and China League One (CL1). Meizhou Hakka, originally relegated to CL1, will be reinstated into the CSL to participate in the 2025 season. This situation arose primarily because the previous CSL team, Cangzhou Mighty Lions, failed to pass the pre-season entry requirements and has announced its withdrawal from Chinese football, allowing Meizhou Hakka the fortunate opportunity to continue competing in the CSL. In recent years, due to the severe survival conditions of clubs in Chinese football, it has become frequent for previously relegated teams to return to higher leagues. After Cangzhou Mighty Lions confirmed their inability to meet the entry requirements, there were many voices suggesting that Meizhou Hakka would be reinstated to the CSL, and now this has become a reality. Essentially, this is also an inevitable situation. Nowadays, the survival of many teams is at risk, and it is easy for them to disappear with a misstep. However, professional leagues cannot simply reduce the number of participating teams when one withdraws, so it is normal for some teams to be reinstated. Of course, in such circumstances, we must acknowledge Meizhou Hakka's passion for football. There is no need to stand on a pedestal to criticize or attack the attitudes of some clubs, but indeed, in the current environment, it is completely understandable that some teams do not wish to continue participating in professional events. In contrast, Meizhou Hakka has always been actively seeking to…

Currently, most teams in the Chinese Super League are actively recruiting new players. Big clubs like Shanghai Port, Shanghai Shenhua, and Beijing Guoan have made significant moves. Even Meizhou Hakka, who successfully replaced a relegated team, have basically secured a Champions League-level defender, Faye. At the same time, there is a team - Wuhan Three Towns that has been urgently lacking a tall foreign center forward since the second half of last season, but they have not strengthened their squad until now. However, there is news that Wuhan Three Towns should have already identified their new foreign aid. According to Portuguese media reports, Gabriel Barbosa, the top scorer in the Portuguese League this season from Penafiel, has received offers from several Chinese Super League teams. The information shows that Barbosa was produced by the Palmeiras youth training system in Brazil and debuted for the Brazilian team Spal U19. This season, Barbosa played 16 times for Penafiel, scoring 7 goals with an average playing time of 66 minutes per game. Considering that the level of the Portuguese League may be close to the Chinese Super League, he should be able to adapt to the rhythm of the Chinese Super League. This Barbosa shares similar characteristics with previous Wuhan Three Towns foreign players such as Marcon and Enrique, all being tall center forwards. The information shows that Gabriel Barbosa is currently 25 years old, 1.95 meters tall, weighs 88 kilograms, has a market value of 400,000 euros, and has scored 17 goals in 49 games for Penafiel. It can be seen that…

At the beginning of 2025, one of the most anticipated events in Chinese football is undoubtedly the entry of various teams. Currently, Guangzhou Team, which ranked third in last season's China League One, is still not optimistic about their situation. Previously, several former Guangzhou Team players, including Wei Shihao, Yang Liyu, and Yan Dinghao, raised doubts after the Football Association issued a proposed entry list. So far, these players still have contract disputes with Guangzhou Team, simply put, Guangzhou Team currently owes them money. In fact, this part of the athletes at that time misunderstood the intention of the Football Association. The Football Association only drafted an entry list at that time, which did not mean that these teams could definitely participate in next year's Chinese professional football league. It was just to give the athletes and teams a buffer period. Objections can be raised after the announcement of this list. As expected, including Guangzhou Team, many teams were reported to have received appeals from players, who had not paid off their debts. Subsequently, Guangzhou Team even conducted live streaming sales online, hoping to raise more funds for the club to complete the entry and clear the salaries owed to these players. At the same time, Guangzhou fans are also very concerned about the current substitute qualifications in the Chinese Super League because it is still unclear how many teams in the Chinese Super League and China League One cannot complete the entry and will be forced to disband, giving up how many places. These are also very important for…

Leading the Team to Promote Next Season, National Team Twin Stars Take the Lead Shanghai Port's Five Tigers are set to join Nantong Zhiyun in the winter transfer window! They will lead the team to promotion next season, with the national team's twin stars taking the lead. Hey, fellow football fans, I've got some explosive news for you today! Have you heard? The mighty tigers from Shanghai Port are rumored to be making a collective move to Nantong Zhiyun! This isn't just idle speculation; it's a solid transfer rumor, so let's take a closer look at what's going on. Speaking of Nantong Zhiyun, their performance in the Chinese Super League this season has been quite worrying. Honestly, they've been playing rather mediocre, lacking highlights and persuasiveness. As a result, they were relegated to the China League One a round early. When this happened, Nantong Zhiyun fans were desperate, hoping that the club could be promoted back to the Super League. Why? Because both Wuhan Three Towns and Cangzhou Mighty Lions have been plagued by wage arrears scandals that seem unlikely to be resolved in the short term. Fans were thrilled at the prospect that if these two Super League teams couldn't meet the entry requirements, Nantong Zhiyun might have a chance to fill the vacancy. Unfortunately, things didn't go as hoped. Wuhan Three Towns managed to save themselves and will definitely appear in the Super League next season. The situation for Cangzhou Mighty Lions is less optimistic, with…
