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)

    Even today . . . experts, usually male, tell women how to be mothers and warn them that they should not have children if they have any intention of leaving their side in their early years. . . . Children don’t need parents’ full-time attendance or attention at any stage of their development. Many people will help take care of their needs, depending on who their parents are and how they chose to fulfill their roles.
    Stella Chess (20th century)
