Chen Xuyuan was born in 1956 in Shanghai. He was the chairman of Shanghai Port Group. After spending a lot of money to sign big foreigners such as Hulk and Oscar, he finally ended Guangzhou's monopoly on the Chinese Super League title and built Shanghai Port FC into league champions.
In August 2019, Chen Xuyuan became the president of the Chinese Football Association (CFA), but during his tenure as president of the CFA, the national football team had a poor record in the top 12. His valued coaches Li Tie and Li Xiaopeng led the team to the bottom of the group with one win, three draws and six losses. They lost to Vietnam on New Year's Day, which brought the FA and the national team under criticism from the Chinese people.
Not only that, but Chen Xuyuan's neutral name and U23 policy were also controversial. During Chen Xuyuan's tenure as chairman of the Football Association, a number of clubs, including the then league champion Jiangsu, withdrew from the game. Chen Xuyuan's comments on "public service soccer" have also caused heated discussions in the community.
