July 21, Beijing time zone, the soccer circle set off waves. According to domestic soccer news sources, Tan Hai, who enjoys the reputation of "Golden Whistle", as well as Qi Jun, the former head of the competition department of the CFA and former leader of the national team, disappeared in an important meeting, which may be related to the anti-gambling shady business that has not yet been quelled in the soccer world.
Currently, the Chinese Super League is in the middle of an intense schedule, and the anti-gambling and anti-mafia actions in Chinese soccer have also been put to rest for the time being. It is reported that the State General Administration of Sport had set a deadline for "surrender" on July 18, but it seems that some members of the sports sector did not take action before this deadline.
In the late afternoon of the 21st, the wind was blowing on social media, with numerous media sources suggesting that top and mid-level leaders of the FA had been secretly taken away. By that evening, the list surfaced, including heavyweights such as Tan Hai and Qi Jun.
Tan Hai has been in charge of the Chinese Super League since the 2005 season, and has been awarded the "Golden Whistle" honor four times for his fairness. His whistle is not only fair, but also regarded as a symbol of "official whistle" in the soccer world. Tan Hai served on the Referee Committee before moving to the Technical Department.
Qi Jun is deeply involved in the soccer world, and has helped the development of the Chinese Super League replay program at special times, and served as the head of the competition department. He has also shouldered the important task of leading the team during the national team's World Qualification phase.
