Reporter Cheng Shan reported that the Chinese Super League has entered an intermission and the national football team has also started preparations for the round of 18, but the finishing work of China's anti-corruption and anti-gambling efforts in football is still in progress. The first batch of "banned lists" of people involved in counterfeiting and gambling are "on the way" and will be announced as early as the end of this month.

August 19 to 21,Multiple courts in Hubei Province publicly sentenced former Chinese Football Association Vice Chairman Li Yuyi, former Wuhan Football Association Secretary General Fu Xiang, former Chinese Football Association Competition Department Director Huang Song, former Chengdu Football Association Chairman Gu Jianming, and former Chinese Super League Company Chairman Ma Chengquan to 11 years, 11 years, 7 years, 6 years, and 11 years and 3 months in prison respectively.. Before that,Five people, including former Chinese Football Association Chairman Chen Xuyuan, former Chinese Football Association Vice Chairman Yu Hongchen, former Chinese Super League Company General Manager Dong Zheng, former Chinese Football Association Executive Vice Secretary-General and Minister of State Management Department Chen Yongliang, and former Wuhan Football Sports Management Center Competition Department Director Liu Lei, were also publicly sentenced.In addition, although the relevant case details of the Ministry of Public Security's anti-gambling cases have not been made public, the relevant sentencing has already been carried out, and some of the players involved have already received criminal penalties.

Although the legal aspects of the anti-corruption and anti-gambling campaign are still underway, with the public sentencing of some cases and the substantive sentencing of some cases, penalties at the industry level have always been the focus. The latest news shows that the first list of industry penalties, also known as the "ban list" (those involved in serious cases will be banned from working in the football industry), will be announced as early as the end of this month. The news shows that relevant matters have entered the established procedures. The list was finalized in June, but the release time has been adjusted.

As to whether the "ban list" will be filed with the AFC and FIFA, there is no confirmed news yet. There may be a more authoritative interpretation when the list is announced.

What fans are more concerned about is the club's industry punishment. Compared with individual punishment, the club's punishment has a greater impact on fans, because in the verdict of the Football Association's corruption case, there are constant references to club bribery, so there have been various rumors in recent times. But so far, no authoritative news has been leaked, and fans still need to wait. In theory, punishment for professional clubs is inevitable, and the relevant industry punishment will vary to varying degrees depending on the severity of the case.

In the process of anti-corruption and anti-gambling, Chinese sports, including Chinese football, have also started to revise and supplement industry laws and regulations. Take the Chinese Football Association as an example. On March 28, it issued the "Interim Measures for the Handling of Reports on "Fake Gambling and Black Markets" of the Chinese Football Association; on July 26, it issued the "Implementation Rules for the Management of the Style and Discipline of Football Events of the Chinese Football Association"; on August 16, it issued the "Technical Assessment Measures for Abnormal Games (Trial)". All relevant measures are aimed at further strictly controlling the style and discipline of the game and the phenomenon of fake gambling and black market.

During this year's two sessions, Liu Guoyong, deputy to the National People's Congress and deputy director of the General Administration of Sport of China, also suggested adding a legislative clause on the crime of manipulating sports competitions to safeguard the fairness of sports competitions and the stability of sports management order, and provide strong guarantees for building a sports power.

The legal and industry penalties for this anti-corruption and anti-gambling campaign are not the end. Only regular supervision of Chinese sports, including Chinese football, including regular judicial supervision and substantive industry supervision, can prevent the breeding and spread of related corruption and fake gambling and black-market activities. More importantly, it is necessary to avoid the periodic collapse of corruption and fake gambling and black-market activities in Chinese football, break out of the vicious circle and achieve real development.
