The Chinese Football Association has begun to erase traces of those involved as a follow-up to its anti-gambling and anti-corruption campaign, which concluded with the announcement of the suspension list.

Wang Song, 41, served as captain and coach of Shijiazhuang Gung Fu, and shined out with one score and seven assists in 22 matches in China's second division in 2024. However, the record of attack points updated by the Chinese Football Association in the third week of September shows that the score was removed from the assist ranking.

The Chinese Football Association announced on Sept. 10 the result of punishment for inappropriate participation in transactions and manipulation of games. Son Joon-ho (32), former MVP of the K League 1, was banned for life and Wang Song for five years.

Unlike Korea, which has a separate Korean professional football federation, the Korea Football Association is in charge of not only the fourth to eighth amateur leagues but also the first to third professional leagues in China. Son Jun-ho played for Shandong Taishan in the Super League (first division) between 2021 and 2023.

The Chinese Football Association was suspended for life for all football-related activities on the basis that "Son Joon-ho was recognized by a judicial institution for illegal profit promotion and acquisition, and the punishment was confirmed by giving up his appeal."

Son Joon-ho, a defensive/central midfielder, stood out along with Shandong Taishan joining the club with four points, four assists, and an attack point of 0.40 per 90 minutes in 21 games of the 2021 Chinese Super League. If the year-end awards ceremony had not been canceled in the aftermath of COVID-19, the MVP would have been likely.

The fact that the Chinese Football Association has removed Wang Song's second-division performance this season from official statistics, which has not been disciplined in his lifetime, means that Son Joon-ho's record, which has attracted more attention in the high-level Super League, is likely to be handled as well.

Wang played for the 15th Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Asian Cup in 2011. ▲ Including promotion playoffs, China's first and second division leagues ▲ AFC Champions League preliminary and main competition ▲ China Football Association Cup, he scored 53 points and 78 assists in 435 matches.

Although Wang was forced to retire due to five-year disciplinary action, which contributed significantly to the professional league, the Chinese Football Association was cold-headed about deleting records. Son Jun-ho is expected to be no exception.

In June last year, Shandong Taishan erased traces by removing promotional posters for visitors to ▲home stadium ▲ removing photos of dressing rooms ▲ canceling the player's contract. Son Joon-ho's performance in Super League and Cup competitions with five points and nine assists in 57 games and an average of 0.26 attack points per 85.2 minutes and 90 minutes seems to be considered a dark history.

The 11th leadership of the Chinese Football Association was subject to fraudulent eradication, with Chen Xuyuan (68) chairman in February 2023 and Du Zhao Chai (64), senior vice chairman, being booked by the Ministry of Public Security (Police Agency) in April.

The State Council has designated the Chinese Football Association as a management organization and ordered seven working-level officials with the vice-president (deputy director level) to assume executive roles. Chen Xuyuan lost his position as chairman of the Supreme People's Prosecutor's Office on Sept. 26 last year. 메이저사이트

The 12th leadership of the Chinese Football Association was launched in October 2023. In March 2024, Chen Xuyuan was sentenced to ▲ life imprisonment ▲ deprivation of political participation for life ▲ confiscation of all personal property. In August, former Vice Chairman Du Zhao Cai was found guilty of illegal receipt of 43.41 million yuan (8.16 billion won).

Against this backdrop, it is not easy for the new working-level officials of the Korea Football Association to recognize achievements or skills of those who are subject to suspension of match fixing. Son Joon-ho's performance, which used to be the top class in the Super League, is also highly likely to disappear from China's statistics soon.
