Chen Xuyuan

Chen Xuyuan was elected president of the Chinese Football Association (CFA) at its 11th membership conference at the Xianghe National Football Training Center in north China's Hebei Province on August 22.

The 63-year-old former president of Shanghai International Port Group, which owns the Chinese Super League (CSL) club Shanghai SIPG, had served as head of the preparation team for the CFA election since May 24.

In an interview with Xinhua News Agency following his election, Chen vowed to carry out the football reform plan published by the Chinese Government in 2015, which envisions China would aim to qualify for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in the short term, and become a football powerhouse by 2050 in the long term.

The conference also elected three CFA vice presidents and a 35-member executive committee with representatives from CSL clubs, media, schools, local football associations and other football-related sectors.
