The Taiwan Football Premier League season begins this weekend, with Tatung in the

In the men’s league, a revamped schedule sees the season divided into three segments, with eight teams playing a total of 84 matches from this month until September.
Playoffs are to follow the regular season, with the winner taking the title and NT$700,000.
The runners-up are to receive NT$200,000 and third place NT$100,000.
“For Taiwan soccer to progress to the next level, we need to upgrade the league with better and more comprehensive management. Our goal is to develop a fully professional soccer league, while developing more talents at the grassroots level,” Chinese Taipei Football Association chairman Lin Yung-cheng said. [FULL STORY]
