The Chinese football league system has been expanding rapidly in recent years, and the Chinese League Two (CL2) is no exception. The CL2 was founded in 2018 as a new division of the China League One, which had previously played in the second tier of Chinese football. In this expansion season, the CL2 added four teams, bringing the total number of clubs in the league to five.
The CL2 is one of the most competitive divisions in Chinese football, with many talented players from across the country vying for spots in the top tiers of the national leagues. However, adding more teams can only bring more competition and excitement to the league.
In addition to the four newly-added teams, there will also be two expansion teams from other regions. This means that the CL2 will have a total of six teams competing for promotion to the top tier of Chinese football.
As for the expansion teams, they will be based on geographical proximity to the original CL2 teams. For example, the expansion team in Shandong Province will be located closer to the original team than any other team in the region.
The CL2 expansion season is set to begin in the coming months, and fans can expect to see some exciting matches and developments throughout the year. As always, it's important to keep an eye out for updates on the CL2 expansion schedule and the latest news regarding the league's development.
