The Chinese Football Association (CFA) once again came up with a high-intensity reform plan. However, questions about its effectiveness have not been erased.

China's Xinhua News Agency reported on the 8th (Korea time) on the recent CFA reform plan for the professional league. Starting next year, the CFA will allow Super League clubs to spend a total of 600 million yuan (about 124.8 billion won), Class A (second division) teams to spend 200 million yuan (about 41.6 billion won), and Class B (third division) teams to spend up to 50 million yuan (about 10.4 billion won). The annual salary of players will also be limited to 5 million yuan (about 1 billion won) for Super League players, 3 million yuan (about 620 million won) for Class League players, and 1.5 million yuan (about 310 million won) for Class League players. In the case of the Super League, the salary cap for foreign players was limited to 3 million euros (about 5.1 billion won) per person and a total of 10 million euros (about 17.1 billion won), while the second-class league was set at 1.5 million euros (about 2.5 billion won) per person and 4 million euros (about 6.8 billion won). There should be no relationship between clubs when transferring players.

Clubs that violate the total budget, player salary, and salary cap announced by the CFA will be subject to points reduction. In addition, if they are found to have signed a double contract with players that provides incentives outside of salary cap, they will be removed from the performance of the season and immediately demoted. The player will be suspended for 24 months. In addition, the CFA requires each team in the Super League to have at least five youth teams of at least five age groups per team, instead of eliminating the mandatory women's team requirement.




The total budget per Super League team presented by the CFA is as large as the European big league club. Although the player's salary limit is tight, the salary cap for foreign players is also considered to be the top of the Asian leagues.

Chinese soccer has struggled for development with the goal of advancing to the World Cup in the 21st century. In particular, in the 2010s, he also swept European big club players and head coaches while promoting the so-called `football roll.' However, unlike the external development of the Super League, the development of domestic players' skills was insignificant internally, while the real estate bubble burst and the European player-leader escaped, eventually becoming an empty Kang Jeong. The CFA is reviewing its qualifications to participate in the Super League through a tight financial review after the series of professional teams disbanded around 2020, and has come up with reforms every year. However, given the current level of Chinese soccer, it is unclear whether such a system will be effective.
