Song Kai, the quasi-head of the Football Association: is a senior brother of Gao Zhidan, and the highlight is not only the CBA! Two of them will be promoted to deputy office
In the past few days, the Chinese Football Association has once again become the focus of attention from the outside world, and it is reported that Song Kai, director of the Liaoning Provincial Sports Bureau, may become the chairman of the Chinese Football Association. It is necessary to remind that once it comes true, Song Kai will become the first academic leader in the history of the Chinese Football Association.
Historically, the president of the Chinese Football Association has changed the most among all the individual sports associations in China. The first director was Huang Zhong, an old revolutionary who participated in the War of Resistance Against Japan. The latter two presidents are Li Fenglou and Nian Weisi, both of whom are famous in Chinese football, the former has served as the manager of the national football team, and the latter has the dual identity of a famous international and a national football manager. In the mid-80s of last century, the women's volleyball team and women's basketball team successively appeared on the podium of the world's three major competitions, the men's basketball team has always been the boss in Asia, the men's volleyball team has also rushed to the fifth height in the world, the women's football team that launched late has also won the Asian arena, and the men's football team that has repeatedly hit the World Cup has become a laggard element of China's three major balls. In this context, Yuan Weimin, deputy director of the National Sports Commission, was appointed chairman of the Chinese Football Association, hoping to use Yuan Weimin's courage to grasp volleyball to realize the dream of the Chinese men's football team rushing out of Asia.
Compared with most sports, football is an extremely complex system engineering, even if Yuan Weimin has three heads and three arms, how can he alone raise the strength of the Chinese men's football team to a new level. That change made the chairman of the Chinese Football Association an exception among many individual associations, that is, the chairman was concurrently led by the National Sports Commission and later the State General Administration of Sports, and the rank was higher than other individual sports organizations. Later, Cai Zhenhua took over and applied this model. In 2015, the Chinese Football Association was decoupled from the General Administration of Sports, and in recent years, the leader of the State General Administration of Sports no longer concurrently serves as the chairman of the Chinese Football Association.
Song Kairu is in charge of the Chinese Football Association coach, and he will become the first academic leader in the history of the organization.
Song Kai was born in January 1965. From September 1992 to June 1995, he studied at the Graduate School of Beijing Sport University, which is the highest sports institution in China and a key construction institution of the national "211 Project". It is worth mentioning that Gao Zhidan, director of the State General Administration of Sports, is a graduate of Beijing Sports University, and last year he succeeded Gou Zhongwen as the ninth head in the history of the State General Administration of Sports (including the previous National Sports Commission). After a year, Gao Zhidan's junior brother Song Kai is expected to become the first academic leader in the history of the Chinese Football Association, which is really coincidental!
Song Kai became the director and party secretary of the Liaoning Provincial Sports Bureau in 2016, and he had been the deputy director of the Liaoning Provincial Sports Bureau for 16 years. It is worth mentioning that at present, two of the leading team of the Liaoning Provincial Sports Bureau are former sports celebrities: one is Zhang Yuehong, a former national player of the Chinese women's volleyball team and the women's volleyball champion of the 2004 Athens Olympic Games; The other is Wang Fang, a Chinese women's basketball celebrity and a member of the runner-up team at the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games. Wang Fang and Zhang Yuehong were both promoted to deputy directors of the provincial bureau after Liaoning Sports entered the Song Kai era. Scanning the domestic provincial sports bureau, it is not uncommon for the leadership team to have one former national player.
Born in science and immersed in the sports industry for decades, Liaoning was once the most developed area of Chinese football, and in recent years, the Liaoning men's basketball team has won the CBA three times, and a series of backgrounds make Song Kai highlight 4 words: root is red. Let professional people do professional things, can Song Kai use his extraordinary sports experience to move the ship of the Chinese Football Association along the right course to break the waves?
