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…

Consecutive victories over Indonesia and Bahrain have given fans renewed hope of advancing to the top 18. Although the prospects of qualifying for the World Cup remain slim, it has at least provided fans with something to look forward to. The latest national team roster has also been officially announced, and all the players on the current national team have reported to Hainan in the past two days. However, the latest national team roster is also highly controversial, with Ivan continuing to rely on young players, such as the 20-year-old Buyu Lang and the 20-year-old Wumiti Jiang, both of whom are post-00s youngsters making their first appearance on the national team. In addition, naturalized player Jiang Guangtai is absent due to injury, leaving only two naturalized players selected for this national team, Fernandinho and Hou Yongyong, who is making his first appearance on the national team. Hou Yongyong has already arrived in Haikou, but Fernandinho is causing trouble again and is expected to miss this training camp. Ivan confirmed this news in an interview, saying that Fernandinho will be absent from the national team due to personal matters. This is not the first time that a naturalized player has caused trouble; previously, naturalized player Li Ke was unsuccessfully persuaded by Ivan several times, ultimately leading to Ivan giving up on selecting him for the national team. According to media reports, Fernandinho's contract with Shanghai Shenhua has expired, and after the last match, he emptied his apartment overnight, sending all his luggage back to Brazil in nine large boxes. According to…

Cooperation Ends! The 6th Coach to Be Sacked in the 18-Team Qualifiers Announced: Earned 6 Points in 6 Rounds, Regrettably Dismissed Ivan's national team started with three consecutive losses in the top 18 qualifiers, and at that time Ivan faced a serious trust crisis and was on the verge of being sacked.

Among other teams in the top 18 qualifiers, many have changed coaches, and now another team has replaced its head coach. Cooperation ends!

The Indonesian Football Association thanked Shin Tae-yong for his contributions and wished him all the best in the future. South Korean coach Shin Tae-yong took over the Indonesian national team in 2020 and also coached the Indonesian U23 team, but he has now been abandoned by the Indonesian Football Association. Before Shin Tae-yong's departure, five teams in the top 18 qualifiers had already experienced coaching changes. In Group C where the national team is located, Popovic replaced Arnold to become the head coach of the Australian team, Saudi Arabia fired Mancini, and Lerner returned to coach. In Group A, Qatar changed coaches, Marx was sacked, and Garcia took over…

The world of Argentine football has recently been shaken by a significant announcement: Javier Mascherano will no longer coach the Argentine U20 team. Instead, he has accepted an invitation from Inter Miami CF to become their new head coach. This is the same hardman who once gave his all for the Argentine national team on the field and is now set to lead a team to new heights. The Argentine Football Association has not been idle either, quickly announcing that Prasent will take over from Mascherano as the new head coach of the Argentine U20 team. This changeover is filled with complex emotions and expectations for the future. When it comes to Mascherano, everyone is familiar with him. His name represents not only Argentina's ironclad defense but also one of the legends of Argentine football. However, his transition from player to coach has not been smooth. As a coach, Mascherano's career has been marked by ups and downs. He previously coached the Argentine U20 team but failed to achieve impressive results. In the America's Cup group stage, the Argentine U20 team suffered consecutive losses against Paraguay, Brazil, and Colombia, with their only victory coming against the relatively weaker Peru. Ultimately, the Argentine U20 team missed out on the World Youth Championship, and Mascherano's coaching did not deliver a satisfying outcome. Even when the Argentine U20 team luckily qualified for the World Youth Championship, they still failed to break through in the round of 16, losing 0-2 to Nigeria and ending their journey prematurely. Mascherano also led the Argentine U23 team…

As we step into 2025, the various national teams of Chinese men's football are fully prepared to launch a comprehensive offensive on the field, with a series of major competitions coming one after another. The national team is about to engage in the fierce 18-strong competition, while the Olympic team will strive in the U23 Asian Cup qualifiers, the youth team aims for outstanding achievements in the U20 Asian Cup finals, and the junior team is also striving to showcase their style in the U17 Asian Cup finals. In addition, the subsequent reserve teams are actively preparing to take over, including the U18 national youth (07 age group) and U16 national junior (09 age group). It is worth noting that the U18 national youth team will become the eligible team to participate in the 2027 U20 Asian Cup, however, the qualifiers are scheduled for September 2026, which makes it difficult for the current age group of the national youth team to officially form. Given this, at present, training camps or selection camps can only be organized under the names of "training camp" or "selection camp." At the same time, the head coach has not been determined yet, and the 44-year-old Zheng Zhi has become the hottest candidate for the head coach. Half a month ago, the Football Association successfully held the second phase of the 2007 age group elite player training camp this year at the beautiful Hainan Mission Hills Training Base in Haikou. In this training camp, most of the players are expected to become the backbone of the…

Chinese Football's Hope: Song Kai Personally Confirms Japanese Coach, Abandoning Local Coaches!‌ The chairman of the Football Association, Song Kai, recently revealed in an interview with Japanese media that the first Japanese head coach of the U16 national team, Kamikage Kenichi, was personally confirmed by him. He is full of expectations for learning from Japanese football in the future and believes that Kamikage Kenichi represents the hope for Chinese football. From many details, it can be seen that Song Kai is indeed the most hopeful chairman of the Football Association we have seen in recent years. Firstly, he is very bold. Previously, many national teams were controlled by some local veteran coaches, such as Cheng Yaodong, who liked long-term training camps and was always an important candidate for the head coach of various national youth teams. Even when selecting foreign coaches, the Football Association rarely dared to choose a Japanese head coach. Now, Song Kai directly confirms Kamikage Kenichi to coach the Chinese U16 national team, and not just one; the U15 head coach, Minami Shima, is also Japanese. This courage and boldness are indeed very commendable. Secondly, Song Kai is really modest and open, willing to learn from foreign countries to overcome them. In the interview, he said that he decided at that time that he must learn from advanced football countries, so he invited many Japanese coaches to coach in China. He said that Japanese coaches are meticulous and tenacious, which is what he values. These advantages are indeed very suitable for China's football youth training, which is…

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…

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."…
