The Qingdao West Coast Football Club has secured promotion to the China League Two (CL2) for the first time in its history. The team's victory over Guangzhou Evergrande FC on Wednesday night was their second consecutive win in the league, and it is now set to return to the Chinese Super League (CSL), which will be played at the end of this season.
The promotion comes after a challenging campaign for Qingdao West Coast, which struggled to maintain their place in the league table throughout the season. However, they managed to secure a spot in the top tier by winning both the domestic cup final and the AFC Champions League round of 16 tie against Guangzhou Evergrande FC.
The club's manager, Li Xiaoyun, said: "We are thrilled to have won our second consecutive promotion in the CL2. We had to work hard during the season, but we were able to deliver our best performances and finally achieve our goal."
The promotion also marks a significant step forward for Qingdao West Coast, as they will now be competing in the top tier of Chinese football once again. They will face off against other top clubs in the league next week, including Beijing Guoan FC, who are currently leading the league standings.
For Qingdao West Coast, this achievement represents a new chapter in their history. It is a testament to the resilience and determination of the club, and it gives them hope for the future. With the success of this season under their belt, the club can now focus on building a strong foundation for the future and continue to strive towards success on the field.
