The Chinese Football League (CFL) is set to resume in the coming season, with the league's governing body, the China League Football Association (CLFA), aiming to push through a resolution that would allow its teams to retain their domestic status.
However, this bid has faced significant challenges as the CLFA faces stiff competition from other major leagues such as the Hong Kong Premier League (HKPL) and the Shanghai Super League (SLS).
One of the biggest challenges facing the CLFA is the lack of funds to fund the league's operations. This has led to concerns about the sustainability of the league and the potential for it to be dissolved if financial support cannot be found.
Another challenge is the lack of transparency in the governance of the league. The CLFA has been criticized for not being able to provide clear guidance on how to manage the league's finances and ensure fair play.
Despite these challenges, the CLFA remains committed to maintaining the integrity of the league and ensuring that it remains a viable and competitive football organization. The league will continue to work towards finding solutions to the challenges it faces and working towards a successful return to action in the coming season.
