Newly-promoted Wuhan Three Towns became 2022 season Chinese Super League (CSL) champions after their rivals forfeited the final round match due to players' health reasons, the CSL announced on Friday.
The Wuhan side were originally scheduled to play against Tianjin Jinmen Tigers on Saturday before the latter announced withdrawal. The result sent Wuhan to the top of the standings with 78 points, edging off close title contenders Shandong Taishan to the second place on goal difference.
Shandong were also given three points and three goals after their last round opponents Beijing Guoan quit the last round due to players' health issues.
"Tianjin Jinmen Tigers and Beijing Guoan applied to give up their last round league matches on Wednesday due to players' health issues. After the negotiations of the CSL Organizing Committee and four related clubs, Tianjin and Beijing were declared a 0-3 loss respectively," the CSL said.
