There will also be columns from CSL reporters and analysts commenting on the CSL.

According to a source, the CSL operating company also intends to add e-commerce and betting sections in the future.

“The official launch of the CSL APP will further bridge a channel of communication between clubs and fans,” said Ma Chengquan, the President of CSL Co. Ltd.

The 2016/2017 season CSL season will kick off on Friday when Guangzhou H&R FC will host Hebei Fortune China FC.
