Beijing time on July 21, according to a number of domestic soccer media reports, Tan Hai, a four-time winner of the CFA Golden Whistle Award, and Qi Jun, the former head of the competition department of the CFA and a former leader of the national soccer team, were taken away during the meeting, which may be involved in the case of the anti-gambling and anti-blackness of Chinese soccer before.
The anti-gambling and anti-mafia efforts in Chinese soccer have been halted for some time now, amidst the intensive schedule of the Chinese Super League. In addition, the State General Administration reportedly asked for people to "turn themselves in" by July 18th. However, some media sources indicated that some members of the sports system still had not "turned themselves in" after the deadline given by the State Administration.
On the afternoon of the 21st, many media sources hinted on social media that officials and mid-level leaders of the CFA had been taken away.On the evening of the 21st, the list of those taken away came to light, namely, Tan Hai, the former golden whistle, and Qi Jun, the former head of the Competition Department of the CFA and a former leader of the national soccer team.
Tan Hai began enforcing the Chinese Super League in the 2005 season and has won the CFA Golden Whistle Award four times. After the whistle, Tan Hai worked in the referee committee and then went to the technical department. Tan Hai's biggest impression when penalizing Chinese Super League matches is that he is an "official whistle".
Qi Jun has been working for the CFA, where he was involved in the development of the Chinese Super League replay program at a special time and held the position of head of the CFA's competition department. He also served as the leader of the national team during the last World Qualifying Tournament.
