Uni-Lions manager backs CPBL expansion amid talk of potential 7th team
Posted on 2026-06-13 14:09:13
Uni-President 7-Eleven Lions Manager Lin Yue-ping (林岳平) says he supports expanding the CPBL and believes Taiwan could eventually accommodate as many as eight teams.
Lin's remarks came after TS Financial Holding Chairman Thomas Wu (吳東亮) said that the company had internally discussed forming a CPBL franchise following a proposal from a shareholder at the company's annual meeting.
The suggestion that "Lions" be part of the team name is due to name of Shin Kong Group's founder.
The "shi" in Wu Huo-shi's (吳火獅) name is the character for "lion."
TS Financial Holding was created last July through the merger of Taishin Financial and Shin Kong Financial.
