January 29 According to reporter Ma Dexing, Du Zhaocai, deputy director of the State Sports General Administration and vice chairman of the Chinese Football Association, and the Chinese Football Association
The delegation headed by Chairman Chen Xuyuan will participate in the 33rd AFC General Assembly to be held in Bahrain on February 1.
The AFC Congress is directly related to the future international exchanges and relations of Chinese football. In particular, Du Zhaocai will continue to participate in the election for the position of director of the FIFA Council. Therefore, the Chinese Football Association held a special meeting before the Spring Festival.
The composition of the delegation and the arrangement of activities have been arranged.
Some staff members of the Chinese Football Association also gave up the Spring Festival holiday, went out in advance to carry out related public relations work, and conducted the final lobbying for Du Zhaocai’s re-election.
Du Zhaocai’s identity at the AFC Congress is not the head of the Chinese Football Association delegation. He is participating as a “FIFA council member and AFC executive committee member” and will be seated on the rostrum.
As the chairman of the Chinese Football Association, Chen Xuyuan will go to Bahrain to participate in the meeting as the head of the delegation this time, and will participate in voting on behalf of the Chinese Football Association and participate in voting on related issues.
This is the first time that Chen Xuyuan personally participated in the AFC Congress as the chairman after he was elected as the chairman of the Chinese Football Association in August 2019. He is also the first Chinese Football Association chairman to participate in the AFC Congress after the professionalization of Chinese football.
Before Chairman Chen Xuyuan, because the chairman of the Chinese Football Association was the leader of the State Sports General Administration, the original director of the Football Management Center of the Chinese Football Association participated in the meeting and voted as the vice chairman of the Chinese Football Association as the head of the delegation.
