Due to that, Gao Hongbo and Sun Wen have excelled in their respective positions after serving as vice president of the CFA. Rooted in the field of youth training, Gao Hongbo has achieved good results. On the other hand, Sun Wen was in charge of the Chinese women's soccer team and made the Chinese women's soccer team win the long overdue Asian Cup. Therefore, Sun Wen and Gao Hongbo are considered to be the favorite candidates for the new leader of the CFA. However, after comprehensive consideration, the relevant authorities still decided to parachute in leaders to the CFA.
Bai Xilin, who has worked in China's basketball industry for many years, has not previously engaged in soccer-related work, which is a cross-cutting field. Therefore, whether Bai Xilin can succeed after taking over the CFA is a huge unknown. It is hoped that if Bai Xilin really has the chance to go to the CFA, he can bring new changes to Chinese soccer.
