If you were to ask me whether Chinese football has any original chants that really hit home, I’d have to point you towards ‘Beyond the North’ by the Harbin ultras. For me, it’s hands down the best fan chant to come out of any terrace in China

With a record number of teams dissolving since 2020, can Chinese soccer clubs find a sustainable model for development after three decades of play?

With the CSL transfer window now shut. Who are the best foreign players currently playing in the CSL?
Players who were unlucky not to make the list.
Felipe Silva - Brazilian striker, who has had a really good consistent season with Chengdu.
Marouane Fellaini - Still a very good player but on the decline.

CFA released the official documents for Chinese league certificate application for the 2023 season. A new article is implemented: Teams to participate Asian competitions should not withdraw without giving acceptable reasons; should field the strongest squad.

Wuhan Yangtze River FC fans today placed flowers outside the club's training ground following news that they have folded. It's a familar story in Chinese football and especially so for head coach Li Jinyu, whose two previous clubs (Jiangsu FC and Shenyang Zhongze) also folded.

It's likely Wuhan Three Towns will lose their pivotal player shortly after winning the CSL. Marcao, the topscorer of the 2022 CSL (27 goals in 26 games), has received an offer from Saudi Arabia with a sharp rise in salary, while his income in CSL is restricted by salary cap.

Chongqing Tongliang Dragon, a club founded for 11 months, win promotion from CMCL(4th) to CL2(3rd tier, the lowest of Chinese professional football pyramid). 6 months after Chongqing Liangjiang Athletic folded, Chongqing, a city of 30m population, is back to professional league.

Dalian 1:1 Guangzhou (1/2): in the first half, Guangzhou take a 1:0 lead through such a series of actions -- look like a match of middle-school students.

The desire to challenge himself at a higher level has always been part of who Matt Orr is. Two months after joining Guangxi Pingguo Haliao, Orr talks about adapting to China League One and what lessons he is trying to learn from Erling Haaland offside.hk/hkteam/matt-orr-i…

It appears that Evergrande academy, the biggest academy in the world, is still operating. They started another overseas training programme in Spain. These kids departed China on Thursday.
