Since the Beijing Sinobo Guoan Club announced the joining of new Chinese signings Hou Yongyong and Li Ke, when the two completed all the naturalization procedures has been a matter of concern. The reporter learned today that Hou Yongyong has received a temporary identity card for citizens of the People's Republic of China issued by the Beijing Municipal Public Security Department, officially naturalized in China, and became the first naturalized player in Chinese football.
Previously, the Guoan team flew from Beijing to Haikou on the 9th of this month to start the second phase of winter training, but Hou Yongyong and Li Ke did not travel with the team for the time being, mainly because the two needed to stay in Beijing to go through the relevant procedures for naturalization.
