BEIJING: The new Chinese Super League season kicks off on Saturday after three years of COVID-19 controls with tickets reportedly selling out in just five minutes for the biggest match of the opening weekend.
The state-run Global Times reported there will be a capacity 68,000 crowd to watch title-contenders Beijing play Meizhou and said that tickets sold out in five minutes when they went on sale on Thursday. Defending champions Wuhan Three Towns are also in action on Saturday when they host a Shanghai Port side which has former Chelsea and Brazilian international Oscar.
President Xi Jinping wants his country to one day host and even win a World Cup, but the national men's side languish in 81st in the FIFA rankings.
