This season’s Jiangsu City League is a brand-new amateur competition. Although the skill level isn’t very high, the subtle rivalries among Jiangsu’s 13 cities have drawn massive attention, with every match sold out. After 13 rounds, eight teams advanced to the knockout stage. Following the quarterfinals, all five northern Jiangsu teams were eliminated, leaving Nantong, Nanjing, Wuxi, and Taizhou in the semifinals. Both semifinal matches were fiercely contested and went to penalty shootouts. Taizhou shocked by winning 9-8 on penalties against Nanjing, while Nantong defeated Wuxi 4-2 on penalties, avoiding an upset. Thus, the final showdown will be between Nantong and Taizhou!

Nantong boasts a very strong squad, having gone undefeated in 13 rounds to top the league and advance to the knockout stage, making them the heavy favorite for the title. Although they were pushed to a penalty shootout by Wuxi in the semifinals, they managed to survive without an upset. Taizhou, on the other hand, finished sixth in the league but has pulled off consecutive upsets by winning penalty shootouts against Xuzhou and Nanjing to reach the final, earning the nickname “super dark horse.” Before the tournament, few expected Taizhou to explode like this, showing their strength was underestimated. This team is very resilient, so Nantong’s path to the championship will not be easy!

Additionally, the final is extremely popular, with 2.2 million people scrambling for just 30,000 tickets—truly a tough ticket to get. The final will be held at the Nanjing Olympic Sports Center. We expect a fierce battle between these two teams, delivering an exciting match for the fans. So the question is: will undefeated Nantong claim the crown, or will Taizhou’s dark horse story continue all the way to victory? The answer will soon be revealed, with CCTV providing full support. Let’s wait and see!
