Indonesia and India, the two countries, once had two completely parallel national football leagues, did not belong to each other, rumors are strange; and now our Chinese football, may also have this situation.
Since the establishment of the Chinese football top league Super League and A A, the biggest nemesis is finally coming, that is, the newly launched "City Football League" by the General Administration of Sports. The City Football League, abbreviated as "CCFL", also known as the "Sports Cup", is an annual national league initiated by the State General Administration of Sport, sponsored by the All-China Sports Federation, and hosted by the sports departments of the participating cities.
Recently, the Football Newspaper reported in detail the City Football League, plus some of my personal understanding, the following is as simple and clear as possible for everyone to introduce: the predecessor of the City Football League is the "City Football Super League", although it is also a national football league, but in nature it is still an amateur league.
The City Football League is different, semi-professional and semi-amateur. As long as the Chinese Super League clubs are willing, they can send teams to participate, provided that they have not played in the Chinese Super League in the past two seasons, so it is very suitable for sending reserve teams and echelon players to participate.
Like the Chinese Super League, the City Football League can also invite foreign aid to participate, the quota is 3, but it is stipulated that it cannot be foreign aid from the Chinese Super League and the Chinese First Division, and it is expected that the same "transfer cap" will be set up in the future as the Chinese Super League.
Teams currently registering for the City Football League are so enthusiastic that in just two months, 135 men's city teams and 72 women's city teams have signed up. In view of the large number of registered teams, the City Football League will also be divided into several levels (such as the Chinese Super League, the Chinese First Division and the Chinese Second Division) in the future, and the promotion and relegation system will be implemented.
It is worth mentioning that the City Football League allows commercial naming, generally the full name is "city + club name + naming company", such as "Beijing Guoan Sinobo", can also be directly referred to as "city + team name", such as Beijing Sinobo. I have to say that the city football league allows commercial naming, which is still very much in line with the actual situation of Chinese football. In contrast, the Chinese Super League, because it can not be named, can only take a neutral club name, the past two years have led to a large area of enterprises and sponsors to withdraw from the tide.
However, I personally think that one of the biggest highlights of the City Football League is that there is no participation of the Chinese Football Association throughout the whole process. It is clear that the General Administration of Sport is completely disappointed in the Football Association this time and is determined to run a new league and try other development ideas.
This is a very embarrassing thing for the Fa Association and Chen Shuyuan, to use a more fashionable phrase to describe it - the large trumpet is abolished, and then the trumpet is practiced. If the Chinese Super League is still sluggish, full of wage arrears, scandals continue, and when companies and sponsors have changed positions, the City Super League is not without the possibility of replacing the Chinese Super League.
The emergence of the City Football League, I personally think it is a good thing, its birth has sounded the alarm for the Football Association: if the Chinese Super League continues to mess around, there will naturally be a new league in its place! Friends, what is your point of view? Discussion is welcome.
