On February 1, 2022, as the Chinese national men's football team defeated Vietnam and announced that it would miss the Qatar World Cup two rounds in advance, the expectations of Chinese fans once again ended in disappointment. Football is known as the first sport and is deeply loved by people. Developing and revitalizing Chinese football is an inevitable requirement for building a sports power and is also the expectation of the people. However, while many sports in China are booming, the level of men's football has been declining. Scandals involving fake gambling have occurred frequently. The industry is full of chaos, and it is gradually falling further and further away from the expectations of the people. What happened to Chinese football? This is a question countless fans have been asking for years.
Starting from the end of 2022, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the National Supervisory Commission, together with the Discipline Inspection and Supervision Team of the State Sports General Administration and the Hubei Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision, will use the "office, group and local" joint case handling mechanism to thoroughly investigate a series of corruption cases in the football field and dig deep into the problems behind them source.
In November 2022, Li Tie, the former head coach of the Chinese National Men’s Football Team, was placed under investigation by the supervisory authorities, which kicked off the anti-corruption campaign in football. Subsequently, more than a dozen high-level and mid-level cadres of the Chinese Football Association were subject to review and investigation, including: Du Zhaocai, former deputy director of the State Sports General Administration and former party secretary of the Chinese Football Association, and Chen Xuyuan, former chairman of the Chinese Football Association. The disciplinary inspection and supervision agencies will also work with the public security agencies to investigate dozens of people involved in the case, covering coaches, players, referees, club executives, agents, etc. As the series of cases deepens in depth, deep-seated problems in the football field gradually emerge.
