The Chinese Premier League has announced that it will not play in China again until next year, after the league was suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the Chinese Football Association (CFA) has revealed that the country's top football league, League One, is set to record its highest attendance record yet this season, with over 30,000 spectators witnessing the match. The CFA said that the league had been running behind schedule and was struggling to attract fans as the country moved into lockdown measures to control the spread of the virus. "We have taken steps to improve our performance and we're very proud of the team who took part in this season," said the league's chairman, Liu Wei. "We are confident that the league can continue to grow and thrive." The new attendance record is the result of a series of changes made by the league, including the introduction of online streaming platforms and increased ticket prices. The league also introduced a new format for its matches, where teams were allowed to play without fans at home stadiums. Despite the challenges posed by the pandemic, the league remains optimistic about its future prospects. The CFA said that they would continue to work on improving the quality of the games and attracting more fans back to the country. They also stressed the importance of investing in infrastructure to support the growth of the league and the development of football in general. |
