The Chinese Football Association condemns insults against players and their families and calls for a rational approach to winning and losing.
Recently, during matches in the Chinese Super League, some fans have engaged in bottomless insults and abuse towards professional players and their families, seriously tarnishing football civilization and disrupting the order of the professional league. This has resulted in extremely negative social impact. Any insults towards players and their families are a blasphemy against the spirit of football and completely contrary to the essence of football culture. The Chinese Football Association firmly opposes and strongly condemns this. Such phenomena spreading directly affect the healthy development of professional leagues, ultimately harming the fundamental interests of professional footballers and the vast number of fans. The Chinese Football Association will work together with relevant departments to resolutely resist and crack down on all forms of provocation, insults, defamation, incitement, instigation of conflicts, brawling, etc., both inside and outside the stadium, purifying the stadium environment, and strive to protect the legitimate rights of fans to watch matches in a civilized manner, safeguarding the values of fair competition and mutual respect in sports. Football is a civilized sport that conveys unity and passion, and the stadium is not a place for violence and hatred. The Chinese Football Association will firmly uphold a league environment that is "fair, safe, clean, smooth, and orderly," and will not tolerate any heinous behaviors that disrupt the order of the league. The Chinese Football Association solemnly calls on all football practitioners and fans to jointly defend the purity of football, decisively eliminate the cancer that tarnishes football culture, approach wins and losses rationally, and spread positive energy in the name of football. The Chinese Football Association will further improve relevant measures to better maintain the order of the stadium and the league environment.
