The Football Association announced the list of 49 teams for the season: the former 8-champion Guangzhou team of the Chinese Super League missed it! Cangzhou was also absent

On January 6, Beijing time, the official website of the Chinese Football Association officially announced the list of third-level league admittance, and 49 clubs were shortlisted. The Chinese Super League "8 champions" Guangzhou team missed. And the Cangzhou Lions Club of the Chinese Super League, which is also caught in the turmoil of salary arrears, is also not available on the list.

On December 2 and 20 last year, the Chinese Football Association successively announced the list of two batches of clubs that have completed debt settlement, and all the teams in the three levels of the league have passed. However, after the list of debts was announced, former international player Wei Shihao immediately issued a document questioning the Football Association, questioning the qualification of his old club Guangzhou team. With Wei Shihao's "unveiling", as many as dozens of people have questioned the access qualifications of the Guangzhou team and the Cangzhou Lions by posting or forwarding.

In the end, after being reported by the players and verified by the Chinese Football Association, the Guangzhou team was not allowed to pass the access. According to previous media disclosures, the Football Association is mainly worried that the Guangzhou team will not be able to repay the money in the short term in the future. It is reported that the Guangzhou team's investment in football from 2010 to 2021 will be counted as a loan from the Guangzhou team, with an amount of about 18 billion, which is indeed an unbearable huge debt for the financially constrained Guangzhou team. Maybe it will be a relief for the Guangzhou team to disband after not having access to it.

As for the Cangzhou Lions Club, although it is also facing the problem of salary arrears, after receiving 60 million yuan in funds, a number of players have spoken out through social media, saying that they have received the money from the club to solve the problem of salary arrears, and hope that the club can continue to compete in the Chinese Super League in the new season. But in the end, the Football Association did not choose to raise its noble hand and refused to let the Cangzhou Lions continue to compete in the Chinese Super League through access.
