In 2023, the anti-corruption in Chinese football is coming to an end, after the fall of 14 members of the Football Association, the Chinese football industry has been very calm in the past month, and this round of anti-corruption action is basically over, followed by the trial of those who violate the law and discipline in football. Yesterday, the official reported on Chen Jiayuan's case, the former president of the football association will be prosecuted, his amount of money involved is particularly large, more serious circumstances, Chen Jiayuan may be sentenced to life, he is 66 years old this year, it is estimated that the next days will be accompanied by bars.
It should be emphasized that Chen Jiayuan not only had corruption problems during his tenure as president of the Chinese Football Association, but also, according to official sources, was involved in violations of law and discipline during his tenure as chairman of SIPG, head of the preparatory team of the Football Association, and chairman of the Football Association. The amount of money involved in this series of allegations is quite large, presumably at least 10 million yuan, and possibly even more than 100 million yuan.
In addition, serious questions have been raised about the flow of large regulatory costs. Where the 1.7 billion yuan of funds fell under Chen Jiayuan's control was a question that he had to clearly explain and explain to the public. During his tenure from 2019 to February 2023, the Chinese football scene was in chaos, with nearly forty clubs dissolved, deeply disappointing the Chinese people.
With Li Tie and Chen Jiayuan facing lawsuits respectively, people can't help but look forward to the next development. In addition to the amount of money involved in the case of 12 other senior officials of the Chinese Football Association such as Du Zhaocai and Liu Yi, this news is expected to cause a sensation in the society. The corruption of these involved has always been a stumbling block to the healthy development of Chinese football, and they are actually scum of football, scumbags of society, and they are not worthy of being representatives of the descendants of Yanhuang. Football fans expect to see Chinese football shake off the haze of corruption, regain its luster, and inject new vitality into the country's football cause.
Meanwhile, news came from international football that former Asian Football Confederation president Mohammed bin Haman had been hunted down. Ben Harman was mainly the subject of an investigation because of his alleged personal corruption, related to Qatar's bid to host the 2022 World Cup. Surprisingly, however, Ben Harman has now lost contact and, although he was issued an arrest warrant in June this year, has not yet appeared at the hearing.
Ben Harman is not only president of the AFC, but has held this position for more than 20 years, starting in 2002. Interestingly, Du Zhaocai, who was elected president of the East Asian Football Federation in 2022, was arrested a year later, raising questions about whether there is a transfer of interests between Ben Harman and Du Zhaocai. Because the two have been in contact at work, an investigation in this area will also be launched.
These corrupt practices in football are surprising, and their hypocrisy and hypocrisy can be described as deplorable. During his tenure as president of the Football Association, Chen claimed to have contributed to the development of Chinese football, but in fact he was accused of corruption, and he also publicly criticized the excessive consumption of Chinese football, questioning "whether our conscience is dead". After being elected president of the AFC, Ben Harman said he wanted to lead Asian football to the world, "I am eager to see Asian football rise on the international stage. Despite the difficulties faced in the development of Asian football, Asia has made great progress in the past decade. I firmly believe that the day when we can have a greater impact on world football is not far away. ”
However, Chen Jiayuan and Du Zhaocai are about to face arrest, and Ben Harman will face the same fate. Their past rhetoric has become ridicule. It's not just Chinese football, other Asian teams may have similar problems, but we only know of a few of them, and China is seen as a typical example.
These corrupt practices are not just a sports scandal, but also a wake-up call to fight corruption and promote integrity. On the international sports stage, we need more transparency and strict regulation to ensure fairness and integrity in football. It is also an opportunity to convey the values of integrity and integrity to the society and set an example for the healthy development of the whole society.
To achieve a revival in football, we must take resolute measures to eradicate corruption once and for all. Those involved must be thoroughly investigated, criminally held accountable and public confidence in football restored. At the same time, in the construction of the management system, it is necessary to establish a more transparent and effective mechanism to ensure fair competition and sustainable development of football. Only in this way can Chinese football get rid of the shadow of corruption, shine with new brilliance, and inject new vitality into the national football cause.
This series of football corruption scandals has not only caused a huge impact on the football circle, but also has a negative impact on society. As one of the most popular sports in the world, football should take on the responsibility of setting an example and transmitting positive energy to society. The international sports community should strengthen regulation and fight corruption, ensure a level playing field, and provide more opportunities for truly talented and passionate young players, injecting new vitality into the development of football.
Finally, fighting corruption and promoting clean government is a long-term and arduous task that requires the joint efforts of the whole society. It is hoped that these scandals will serve as a wake-up call to our pursuit of sportsmanship and our insistence on fairness and justice in order to shape a healthier, more just and clean football world.
