Sponsors
The first title sponsor of the CSL was Siemens. Following a controversial first season, Siemens did not renew its multi-million dollar sponsorship of the league. The start of the second season in 2005 had to be delayed a month in order to find new sponsors. When no title sponsor was found the League was simply called the Chinese Football Association Super League.
