CSL Relegation: Cangzhou Lions Secure Crucial Points.
Updated:2025-12-05 08:31 Views:114The CSL, China's top professional football league, has announced that its top team, the Cangzhou Lions, have secured their first ever relegation from the Premier League. The Lions, who had been in the league for several seasons, were expected to be among the favorites to secure promotion back to the highest tier of Chinese football.
However, the Lions' fortunes took a turn for the worse when they lost two crucial matches against their rivals, Tianjin Tenghuang, and Jiangsu Suning. These defeats came just days after they had won both their matches against Jiangsu Suning at home.
Despite these setbacks, the Lions remained determined to stay in the league and continue their climb up the pyramid. They have already secured their place in the second division, but with only three points left to play, they need to put together a strong performance to avoid being relegated again this season.
The Lions will now focus on building a strong squad and training hard to improve their chances of survival. They have also made some key signings in recent weeks, including a new goalkeeper and a midfielder, who will bring new energy and depth to the team.
As the season progresses, it remains to be seen how the Lions will fare against other teams in the second division. However, with a strong squad and a clear plan for improvement, there is reason to believe that they can make a strong run at promotion next season.
