Beiqing: The Chinese Super League will not be suspended due to the epidemic in Hainan, and is currently stepping up communication
On August 8, according to the "Beijing Youth Daily", according to the plan, the Chinese men's football selection team was disbanded in Haikou City on August 8 after undergoing a 7+3-day quarantine. However, due to the recent epidemic in Hainan Province, most of the flights from Haikou City to cities in various competition areas across the country have been canceled recently. At present, a total of 6 Chinese Super League teams are temporarily residing in Haikou City, and they are all waiting for official notices on how to arrange their next trips.
Various uncertain factors also have an impact on the operation of the Chinese Super League in the future. The organizers of the event are currently stepping up communication to launch a response plan. It is reported that the preparatory team of the Chinese Football Federation has notified the clubs and teams in the Haikou division that the schedule for the 12th to 14th rounds of the league is yet to be determined. The organizer of the event is likely to arrange for the 6 teams in Haikou to play some of their mutual matches in advance by fine-tuning the schedule. However, the organizers of the event have no plans to adjust the "neutral division" for the time being, and the league will continue to run and will not be suspended.
On the morning of the 8th, a reporter from the Beiqing Daily learned that among the national football selection team, some players joined their club teams who participated in the 11th round of the Chinese Super League in the Haikou Division, such as Fang Hao from Shandong Taishan team. Most of the remaining players continued to stay in the hotel where the national football selection team was stationed on standby.
Affected by the epidemic situation in Hainan Province, flights from Haikou City to Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Dalian and other regional cities have basically been cancelled in the past two days. The local epidemic prevention policy in Hainan Province has also been adjusted according to the new situation of the epidemic. The schedule shows that the 11th round of the Chinese Super League Hebei team VS Chengdu Rongcheng, Shenzhen team VS Zhejiang team, Tianjin Jinmen Tigers VS Shandong Taishan, Cangzhou Lions VS Guangzhou team 4 games have been played in the Haikou Division. Since the match between Shenzhen Football Team and Zhejiang Team was over on the 5th, the two teams were able to leave the Haikou Division in time. The Hebei team, Chengdu Rongcheng, Tianjin Jinmen Tigers, Shandong Taishan, Cangzhou Lions, and Guangzhou team temporarily reside in the Haikou Division.
Although the accident happened suddenly, the preparatory team of the Chinese Football Federation fully anticipated all kinds of accidents that may occur during the operation of the competition before the start of the second stage of the league, and reserved a considerable number of alternative match days, such as August 30/31 is the make-up day. Although affected by the epidemic, the 6 teams have not been able to leave the Haikou competition area for the time being, but the organizers of the event have already started to adjust the schedule of some rounds, and even do not rule out arranging for the 6 teams to complete some of the matches in advance in the Haikou competition area. .
In addition, the organizers of the event are also stepping up communication with other divisions of the Chinese Super League to strive for more convenience for the next six teams to leave Haikou and transfer to other divisions. At noon on the 8th, news came on the Internet that the 12th round of the Chinese Super League's "home" match against the Dalian People's team in the Haikou Division originally planned to be held on August 12th will be arranged for the two teams to switch home and away, which means that the game will be played. It was changed to Puwan Stadium in Dalian Division. However, in fact, the arrangement of this game has not yet been finalized. After communicating with the two clubs, the event organizer will make a final decision based on the epidemic and epidemic prevention policies.
