Article source: Beijing Youth Daily
On May 15, a reporter from Beijing Youth Daily learned that the approval procedure for Haikou to host one of the Chinese Super League competitions in the new season has been implemented recently. The Chinese Football Association and the Chinese Football Federation preparatory team plan to submit the complete new season Chinese Super League start plan (final draft) to the higher management department on May 16 (next Monday). If the plan is approved, the super-probability of the new season will start on June 3, and it is expected to end in mid-November. If the 2022 Chinese Super League adopts the group competition system, then the three divisions of Haikou, Dalian and Meizhou will fully host the four stages of the season. The opening activities of the Chinese Super League of the new season are confirmed to be held at the Wuyuanhe Stadium in the Haikou Division. The opening match will be played between the defending champion Shandong Taishan team and a team of the same group.

In this case, the Haikou Division has become the only target for the organizers of the Chinese Super League. On May 10, a working group jointly dispatched by the Chinese Football Association and the Chinese Football Federation preparatory team conducted a comprehensive inspection of the training, competition venues, hotels, etc. in the Haikou Division, and the relevant parties in Haikou City have a positive attitude towards hosting the Chinese Super League. After fulfilling the procedures for agreeing to hold the competition, the Haikou Division finally confirmed to host one of the competitions of the Chinese Super League in the new season.
After the selection of the three major divisions is completed this weekend, the Chinese Football Association plans to submit a complete set of plans for the start of the new season of the Chinese Super League to the upper management on May 16 (Monday). After the plan is approved, the organizer of the competition will send the official start notice to the clubs and all parties involved in the league work.
According to the plan submitted by the organizer, the new season of the Chinese Super League will likely be unveiled on June 3. Affected by the epidemic and other possible uncertainties, the specific time for the end of the season has not yet been confirmed, but the tournament strives to finish in mid-November, before the opening of the Qatar World Cup.
The Chinese Super League this season is planned to be carried out in 4 stages. Since the competition will not start until the beginning of June at the earliest, even if the international match day cycle in June is used, the Chinese Super League schedule this season will face 34 rounds in more than 5 months. It is not difficult to imagine the compact schedule. To this end, the event organizers plan to arrange the first two stages of the competition to be held against consecutive championships. That is, the interval between the first stage (10 rounds in total) and the second stage (8 rounds in total) is shortened, and 4 to 6 days are reserved for each team to complete the inter-match transfer. The first two stages of the event are expected to end in mid-August.
According to the plan, the opening event of the new season of the Chinese Super League will be arranged at the Wuyuanhe Stadium in the Haikou Division, and the specific time is likely to be on the evening of June 3. The opener will be between defending champion Tarzan and another team in the same group. Earlier it was reported that the opponent of Taishan team’s opening game was Chongqing Liangjiang Athletic Team, but the organizers of the event have not yet made a final decision.
Affected by the epidemic, the confirmation of the first and second stages of the Chinese Super League will adopt a centralized system for group matches, and ordinary spectators will not be allowed to enter the game. During the competition, all kinds of staff, service personnel and news media reporters related to the competition will be located in the “Blue Zone for Epidemic Prevention and Green Zone for Epidemic Prevention”.
As for whether spectators can be allowed to enter the stadium in the third and fourth stages of the competition, or even the home and away system can be restored, it is not yet possible to give a definite conclusion. However, if the full-season competition adopts the group competition system, then the three divisions of Haikou, Dalian and Meizhou will fully host the full-season competition. Of course, if individual competition areas are affected by force majeure factors such as the epidemic and venues and cannot continue to hold the competition, the event organizer will initiate an alternative plan.Return to Sohu, see more
