Although the two rounds of the round of 12 in September and the quarterfinals of the AFC Champions League have been completed, the five Chinese referees who participated in the law enforcement tasks of the AFC-owned tournament did not return to China, but flew to Sharjah, UAE, to meet the national football team. According to sports weekly news, the Chinese referee team led by Ma Ning and Fu Ming will continue to participate in the law enforcement tasks of the Top 12 and the AFC Champions League in October, and will not return to China until mid-to-late November.
In the round of 12 between Iraq and Iran, Maning, Fu Ming, Zhang Lei, and 2 assistant referees under the Chinese Football Association participated in law enforcement, while in the AFC Champions League quarterfinals, the iranian team Tehran Independence and Saudi arabian team Al Hilal competed, in addition to Maning, the remaining 4 Chinese referees participated in law enforcement.
After blowing these two matches, Maning and Fu Ming led the Chinese referee team to Sharjah, the united arab emirates, where the national football team was trained, to enforce the domestic intra-team confrontation and future warm-up matches. However, Ma Ning and Fu Ming still have a heavy task, fu Ming will participate in law enforcement in the third round of 12, and after the AFC Champions League quarterfinals in mid-October, the Chinese referee team led by Ma Ning will participate in law enforcement.
In other words, the Chinese referee team led by Fu Ming and Maning will not be able to return to China in a short period of time and will go around in West Asia. Since the 2 people plus Zhang Lei are all elite referees under the AFC, it is very normal to participate in the law enforcement work of the round of 12 and the AFC Champions League.
In addition, sports sources said that the second AFC Women's Football Club Championship was held in Jordan from November 7 to 12, and Manin and Fu Ming may still be involved in law enforcement work, and they will not return to China until the middle of November at the earliest, and once they have the task of the round of 12, the two will also get the opportunity to enforce the law.
