On January 2, Beijing time, news from domestic media that the league access qualification of the Guangzhou team, the "8 champions" of the Chinese Super League, was once again in doubt, because the Chinese Football Association was worried that they would not be able to repay the money in the short term in the future.
In December last year, the Football Association successively announced two debt settlement lists, and all teams in the three leagues were on the list. Former Guangzhou team international Wei Shihao asked the Football Association as soon as the list was announced: "Why can the Guangzhou team pass the access". Subsequently, Yang Liyu and Yan Dinghao, two veterans of the Guangzhou team, also forwarded questions one after another.
Although some players filed a complaint afterwards, after communication, the lawsuit has been withdrawn. However, it is now reported that there is a problem with the qualification of the Guangzhou team, because the Chinese Football Association is worried that the situation of the Guangzhou team owing money will continue in the future and cannot be solved in the short term.
From 2010 to 2021, how much Evergrande Group invested in football at the beginning will now be counted as a loan from the Guangzhou team, with an amount of about 18 billion. This almost means that the financially strapped Guangzhou team wants to repay this arrears in the short term without the help of external forces, which is indeed a "fantasy" thing.
According to the plan, the Chinese Football Association's third-level league entry list for the new season will be announced in the coming week. Whether clubs such as Guangzhou and Cangzhou Lions, which have been publicly questioned about salary arrears, can pass the league will soon be revealed.
