China League One

The China League One (Chinese: 中国足球甲级联赛, Pinyin: Zhōngguó Zúqiú Jiǎjí Liánsài), also known as the Chinese Jia League, is the second-highest division in Chinese men's football. It is organised by the Chinese football association, the Chinese Football Association, and has been played in its current form since 2004. Before being renamed, the league was called the Jia-B League. The league consists of 16 teams competing for promotion to the Chinese Super League, the top division of Chinese football. Relegated teams move down to the China League Two, the country's third division. Among the most successful clubs in the league are Guangzhou Evergrande and Henan Construction, each of whom have won the championship title twice. The 2025 season title was secured by Liaoning Tieren FC. The shirts of the clubs from the China League One reflect the development of Chinese professional football and document a league that has been a fixed part of the national football structure since its founding. mehr lesen...
