On April 15, the Beijing Youth Daily reporter learned that the Chinese Football Association has sent a "notice on relevant clubs submitting applications and related materials for the 2022 professional league supplementary application" to 8 domestic football clubs at different levels, including the 17th Beijing Polytechnic Football Club, which ranked 17th in the Chinese League Last Season. It marks that these 8 clubs are eligible to submit applications for replacement of professional leagues of the corresponding level in the new season, and the "replacement" does not involve the Chinese Super League.
This marks that the 18 Chinese Super League clubs that have passed the access review can submit confirmation letters for participation in the new season of the Chinese Super League as required. In accordance with the principle of "making up for it", the new season of the Chinese Super League, The Chinese First Division and the Chinese Second Division will strive to ensure the participation scale of 18 teams, 18 teams and 24 teams respectively.
Affected by the epidemic, as of now, the start date of the new season of domestic professional leagues at all levels, the selection results of the division and the competition method have not been officially confirmed. But preparations for leagues at all levels are urgent. Among them, the confirmation of clubs participating in leagues at all levels is also very important.
According to the requirements of the professional league work conference on April 3, league clubs at all levels that have passed the admission review, especially the Chinese Super League and Chinese League A clubs, must submit a confirmation letter of participation within this week in order to obtain the corresponding qualification for the league in the new season. As of April 15, the former Qingdao Football Club, which was relegated to the Central League after the end of last season, and xiamen Ludao Club, the Chinese Second Division club last season, both notified the organizers of the event through official channels and withdrew from the professional football league. Coupled with the former Guizhou Football Club and Sichuan Folk Football Club of the Chinese Second Division, which failed to pass the admission review before, a total of 4 clubs have not been able to participate in the domestic professional league in the new season.
It is understood that the Preparatory Group of the Chinese Football Association and the China Football Federation has recently stepped up the selection and schedule arrangement of the Chinese Super League and the Chinese League A in the new season, and on the other hand, it has submitted a confirmation letter for league clubs at all levels to strictly control the participation. By 14 April, significant progress had been made in the collection and review of the confirmation letters. The Chinese Football Association and the "Preparatory Group" also finalized the list of clubs eligible for supplementary applications for professional leagues at all levels according to specific circumstances.
The notice shows that a total of 8 clubs have the qualifications for the 2022 season of the Chinese First League and the Chinese Second League. Among them, the 2021 season of the Chinese League A 17th Beijing Polytechnic, the 18th place Xinjiang Tianshan Snow Leopard Football 2 clubs are eligible to submit the 2022 season of the Chinese League A supplementary application. In the 2021 season, shaoxing Keqiao Yuejia, 23rd place Quanzhou Yaxin, 24th place Shaanxi Warriors surpassed, 2021 season Of champions league 6th place Zibo Qisheng, 7th place Shaoxing Shangyu Yilong, 8th place Zhuhai Qin'ao 6 clubs are eligible for the 2022 season of china second league supplementary application.
Judging from the list of clubs applying for the new season, no club has obtained the qualification for the new season of the Chinese Super League, marking that the 18 clubs that have passed the new season's Super League access review can normally participate in the new season of the Chinese Super League. Judging from the fact that 2 clubs have obtained the new season of the Chinese First Division and 6 clubs have obtained the qualification for the new season of the Chinese Second League, the Chinese Football Association has indeed ensured the establishment scale of professional leagues at all levels in the new season in accordance with the principle of "can make up for it".
Eligibility for a replacement does not imply success. The 8 clubs are required to submit qualified access materials in accordance with the "Notice" requirements and submit the confirmation letter of participation as scheduled after passing the access review. Clubs that qualify for the new season of the Chinese Second Division are also required to submit a deposit of 600,000 yuan by April 19.
