The position of Secretary General had been vacant for a long time, and finally on September 16, 1999, when Chairman Huang Shicheng was out of the country on official business, the Director General of the Taipei Beitou District Football Committee, Zhang Zhanwei (pictured), temporarily acted in the position. Zhang Zhanwei, a member of the 1970 Asian Youth Football League, became

The first "red pants" Secretary-General in history.
On the day Huang Shicheng left the country, after meeting with circle members Wang Yuxi, Zhang Jinbo, Zhao Rongrui and Xu Zhaoluo who strongly advocated for him to stay in his post, these people directly recommended Zhang Zhanwei to be the Secretary General and immediately instructed the publicity team to release the news of the Secretary General's appointment.
Zhang Zhanwei has been working in the field of grassroots soccer for many years. He served as the coach of the Taipei City George Industry and Commerce, and then moved to the Beitou District, where he cultivated soccer talents from Qingjiang Elementary School, Beitou Junior High School to Fuxing High School. He was also the coach of the 1990 and 1998 Chinese Youth Teams, and the assistant coach of the 1996 National Team.

The operation is often criticized as outsiders leading insiders and lacking guidance from soccer professionals. After Zhang Zhanwei took over, the football world is counting on him to promote the development of domestic soccer with his 30 years of soccer persistence, and expects him to break the centralized factional coloration so that more footballers will have the opportunity to participate.
However, less than three months into his tenure, Zhang Zhanwei caused a furor on December 14, 1999, during a Taipei City Youth Cup soccer match. When Fuxing High School, which he coached with his brother Zhang Zhaolu, played against Taibei High School, the brothers rushed onto the field and attacked opposing player Chen Bingxin after his son, Zhang Jui-Yu, was shoveled down, narrowly escaping legal problems. The incident caused widespread discussion in the soccer world, with expectations that the

How the person at the helm disciplines himself.
On January 3, 2000, Zhang Zhaolu, Zhang Zhanwei's brother, led Beitou National High School to participate in a national youth soccer tournament, which triggered another group fight with Kaohsiung County's Qianfeng National High School. From the time the secretary-general himself entered the field in violation of the law and beat up a man, it seemed that discipline in the soccer world was difficult to maintain, and on-field disputes were frequent, while the secretary-general escaped disciplinary action on several occasions.
Zhang Zhanwei acted not in accordance with the system, one person, triggering a series of controversies. Not only did he represent the team to hold the yellow fish hostage, but he also directly complained to the International Football Association (IFA), which led to a boycott of national matches by Taipei City referees at one point, and the football world brewed up a collective dismissal of the secretary general.
Act IV: The Legislative Yuan Fiasco and the Disintegration of Operation Unity
On March 27, 2001, internal problems in the soccer sector reached the Legislative Yuan. Legislator Li Qinghua presided over a debate on the Chinese

Of the many ills, Gao Yong led a group of players to make a strong statement, raising issues including selection, finances, and personal ethics. Despite much of the evidence, the soccer community is reluctant to publicize the family scandal, hoping to avoid outside jokes.
On September 7, 1999, the Taichung-led group learned that Gao Yong might become the secretary-general, and immediately retained Huang Shicheng at the Board of Directors and Supervisors and elected Zhang Zhanwei as the secretary-general. However, in the subsequent promotion of the association's affairs, Zhang Zhanwei did not follow the system fully, triggering a backlash. on February 13, 2001, on the eve of the National Futsal Tournament, first the referees in Taipei City boycotted the event, and then the soccer community around the world initiated a recall of the Secretary General.

Ball representatives met, after four times of coordination and communication, reached a consensus on March 11, to Huangshi City, put forward two options: one is the direct removal of Secretary General Zhang, the second is to give him the opportunity but must meet the conditions of five points, including the return to the institutionalization of the referee coaching selection authority to the Commission, the Technical Committee and so on.
