Huang Song was sentenced to seven years in prison and fined 600,000 yuan for bribery. Their illegal gains will also be recovered and surrendered to the state treasury. This verdict is not only a punishment for Huang Song personally, but also a severe crackdown on corruption in the sports world.
One of Huang Song's main responsibilities is to communicate with the AFC and the West Asian national soccer associations to prepare all aspects of China's men's and women's soccer teams in advance for international tournaments. He was directly responsible for handling the costs of the national team's overseas training and matches, which gave him access to large amounts of money in his work. However, this does not excuse taking bribes! The development of the national soccer team requires a clean environment, as well as self-discipline and hard work from every practitioner. Huang Song's incident reminds us that no matter what industry we are in, integrity and fairness are always the bottom line that cannot be crossed. We hope that the soccer association will learn a lesson, start from the inside, effectively improve the level of competition and spirit, and contribute to the rise of Chinese soccer.
