Just now, Shanghai media "Five Star Sports" broke the news that Shanghai SIPG is likely to be renamed "Shanghai Team". Once this information was exposed, it immediately aroused heated discussion among fans. Netizens were talking a lot. Some people joked that Shenhua fans were happy too early and guessed the beginning but not the end.

It is reported that after the team name "Shanghai FC" that is not allowed to use non-Chinese characters was excluded from selection, "Shanghai Team" is very likely to be acquired by Shanghai SIPG. In other words, after the club name Shenhua is retained, the most representative and orthodox name of the city of Shanghai - "Shanghai Team" is likely to be under the name of SIPG.

In fact, "Shanghai FC" means "Shanghai Team", because "FC" is the abbreviation of English Football Club. Previously, Guangzhou Evergrande changed its name to "Guangzhou Team", which is the abbreviation of "Guangzhou Football Club". In English, it is called "guangzhou FC", which can also refer to "Guangzhou FC".

Interestingly, at a meeting a few days ago, Chen Xuyuan, chairman of the Football Association, asked the clubs to change their names to not all be called "FC", saying that Chinese football must be cultural. So, if SIPG changes its name to "Shanghai Team", that is, "Shanghai FC", it is obviously not what Chairman Chen wants.

Of course, whether SIPG will really use this name remains to be further confirmed, but if SIPG really wants to get the name "Shanghai Team", since there is no competition from Shenhua, basically it should not be much. question. But this move probably made Shenhua fans feel uncomfortable. After all, they are the most orthodox Shanghai team.

Shenhua is the eldest son, so it is natural for him to inherit the most orthodox name of "Shanghai Team". However, since the team name of Shenhua has been retained, it is impossible for him to compete with Hong Kong for the name of "Shanghai Team".
