Under the leadership of Deputy Director Li Yingchuan, the temporary team brings together the best of the best from multiple departments within the General Administration, as well as soccer celebrities such as Gao Hongbo, Sun Wen, Yan Zhanhe and He Xi. Yan Zhanhe was the Secretary of the Disciplinary Committee of the Football Association and He Xi was the Deputy Secretary General. However, with the Chinese Super League about to kick off, the national team preparing for the upcoming tournament, and the heavy task of the national teams at all levels, the men's soccer team shouldering the mission of competing in the Asian Games, and the women's soccer team facing the challenge of the World Cup, the absence of key leadership under all kinds of pressures made the work difficult. The selection of candidates has become particularly tricky, and this hot potato seems to have no solution.
Li Yingchuan, born in 1960 in Fuyang, Anhui Province, is currently the Deputy Director General of the State General Administration of Sport, a member of the Party Committee, and Vice President of the Chinese Olympic Committee. He has served as president of the Capital Institute of Physical Education and Sport, director and party secretary of the Beijing Sports Bureau, as well as assistant director and deputy director of the State General Administration of Sports. He was a member of the Executive Committee of the 11th Chinese Football Association. This time he is only temporarily acting in soccer affairs, not fully managing the Association. The complexity of the current situation far exceeds that of the 2009 soccer anti-corruption campaign, and the specific management of the federation may have to wait for more in-depth research and decision-making.
