Chinese Football Association - Chairman and Full-time Vice-chairman

Chairman and Full-time Vice-chairman

When the Chinese Football Association re-established themselves in 1955 they would be a subordinate of the General Administration of Sport and would hire a cadre of Chairman who had served with the Chinese national football team as either a manager or player during their career. This changed in 1989 when the association demanded more professionalism and started to separate itself as a non-governmental, nonprofit organization and hired a Full-time Vice-Chairman to oversee the development of football in China. Dealing with the administration of disciplinary matters, the league and general organisation of the national team including the hiring and dismissing of the Chinese national team managers has made this role become the most prominent position within the whole of the CFA, while the role of the Chairman has become purely ceremonial.

Famous quotes containing the words chairman, full-time:

    You know, when these New Negroes have their convention—that is going to be the chairman of the Committee on Unending Agitation. Race, race, race!... Damn, even the N double A C P takes a holiday sometimes!
    Lorraine Hansberry (1930–1965)

    Some days your hat’s off to the full-time mothers for being able to endure the relentless routine and incessant policing seven days a week instead of two. But on other days, merely the image of this woman crafting a brontosaurus out of sugar paste and sheet cake for her two-year-old’s birthday drives a stake through your heart.
    Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)
