On April 22, China's soccer world welcomed the debut of its new leadership, with the Football Association (FA) announcing the list of its new leadership team members and heads of departments. Song Kai Rong was appointed as the president of the FA, while Zhang Jiasheng was appointed as the party secretary of the FA. At the same time, the national team management department, referee department, competition department and other key departments of the minister position is still in a state of vacancy, currently by the vice ministers to temporarily fulfill their duties. So, is it Song Kai who is the leader of the CFA, or is it Zhang Jiasheng who is the backbone of the organization?
In terms of their respective areas of responsibility, Zhang Jiasheng is mainly responsible for the training and tournament organization of the men's and women's national teams, as well as the auditing and organization of the men's and women's leagues, and also includes the guidance of youth and mass soccer, as well as the work of external liaison, which is a pivotal role for him.
However, under the FA's chief executive responsibility system, Song Kai, as chairman, has appeared frequently in front of the public, participating in national team matches, visits to youth training bases on Chongming Island, and on-site observation of Chinese Super League matches, and he seems to carry the main responsibility for the management role of the FA's chairman.
Referring to the management system of the Table Tennis Association and the Basketball Association, Liu Guoliang and Yao Ming are the top leaders of the two associations respectively. There is no party secretary in the Table Tennis Association, while Guo Zhenqing is the vice-chairman and party secretary of the Basketball Association, with the position of chairman and top leader held by him.
Standing in front of the screen, who exactly do you think the leadership of the FA is in?
