New Policies in Chinese Football: Foreign Aid Increase and Impact on the Survival and Local Players

Original title: Shanghai Media: The new policy is to increase foreign aid to maintain survival and improve the viewing experience, but it cannot improve the ability of local players.

Live Broadcast News on January 8th Regarding the three major new policies that will be implemented in the domestic league in the new season, Five-Star Sports published an article to comment on It believes that naming a team and releasing relocation to ensure the survival of some clubs, and the increase in the number of foreign players playing can really improve the viewing experience of the Chinese Super League, but it will not solve the problem of the ability of local players.

On October 27, 2016, the Chinese Football Association issued the “Chinese Football Association Professional Football Club Transfer Regulations” to regulate the transfer of professional clubs. Domestic professional clubs will be strictly prohibited from transferring across their provinces and cities. member societies. In December 2020, the “Special Management Working Meeting of the Chinese Professional Football League” was held in Shanghai. At the meeting, the Chinese Football Association announced restrictions on neutral names for clubs.

This time the “New Deal” has changed these two items back. One is to conditionally accept the relocation of professional clubs and cancel the restriction that newly promoted clubs cannot carry out major equity transfers within a year of promotion; the second is to allow clubs to name their teams in the 2024-2028 season.

It is said to have been changed back, but it does not mean that it returned to the state before 2016. Because the “New Deal” also mentioned that it “accepts subject to the relocation of professional clubs, and in principle it is not allowed to apply for changes again within 5 years” and “allows clubs to name their teams in the 2024-2028 season.” Relocating adds conditions, and naming adds time limits.It can be seen that the new leadership team of the Football Association does not want to return Chinese professional football to its previous state.

Regarding this “New Deal”, there are mixed reviews from the outside world. Some think that it will solve the problem of the survival of Chinese professional football, while others think that the policy is reversing the wheels. In the 2020 season, Jiangsu Suning won the Chinese Super League championship, but the club went bankrupt in the second year. This indicates that the Chinese Super League bubble has completely burst in the Jinyuan era, and the development of Chinese professional football has entered a new era.If the hallmark of Jin-Yuan era policy was to eliminate bubbles, then the current focus of policy is to preserve survival.

From the 2018 to 2022 season, 44 clubs in the Chinese Premier League, Chinese League One, and Chinese League Two have been deregistered from the corresponding leagues. This does not mean that without these two policies, all the above clubs can survive, because the problems faced by Chinese football are fundamentally related to the general environment of China’s economic development, but some of them at least have a hope of find new solutions. sources of funding or investors and ability to continue to survive. The new leadership team of the Chinese Football Association should have seen this and chose the latter between learning from a mature professional league and ensuring the operation of the Chinese Professional League. The most important thing about policies is that they meet the developmental needs of the times. And we also have to see that these two policies have a time limit, which is also the difference between the new policy and the old policy.

In addition to these two major policy changes, the playing rules for foreign players in the Chinese Premier League next season have also changed. In the 2024 season, Chinese Super League teams can register 7 foreign players, with a maximum of 5 foreign players per game, and a maximum of 5 foreign players on the field.Relying on foreign aid can improve the enjoyment of the Chinese Super League, but relying on foreign aid to improve the abilities of local players has failed before. This policy change can improve the live environment of Chinese professional football and improve the viewing standards of the Chinese Super League, but it will not solve the problem of the ability of Chinese players.In order to improve the abilities of Chinese players, we must start from the source of youth training.
