中國足協:足管中心已經撤銷 足協脫鉤基本完成

China has separated its footbAll association from the government as a crucial step to inject more independence into the sport.

中國足協已經與政府脫鉤，完成了賦予足球運動更大自主權的關鍵一步。

The Chinese Football Association (CFA) said on Wednesday that the government-run Chinese Football Administrative Center, which virtually runs the game in the country, was removed last week, giving the CFA more latitude in making decisions.

中國足協上週三表示，政府下屬機構足球運動管理中心(足管中心)已在上週撤銷，中國足協擁有了更大的決策自由。

The CFA said they will enjoy autonomy in personnel management, pay rate setting, foreign visits, finance, marketing and selection of national team coaches.

據中國足協介紹，在人員管理、薪酬體系、外事出訪、財務和市場開發、國字號球隊教練人選等方面，中國足協都已經有了自主權。

The separation of the association from the government came one year after a top-level team on deepening China's reforms, as led by President Xi Jinping, approved plans to reform the sport.

足協與政府的脫鉤是在習近平主席領導的最高級深化改革班子同意改革體育事業的計劃之後一年實現的。

"We must develop and revitalize soccer to ensure we are a strong nation of sports," Xi, an avid football fan, told a meeting of the Central Reform Leading Group in March 2015.

“我們必須發展和振興足球運動來保證我們體育強國的地位。”習主席在2015年3月的中央改革領導小組會議上表示。習主席自己也是一個狂熱的足球迷。

In stark contrast to its huge success in many other sports, China has been struggling in soccer for decades and only ever qualified for the World Cup once, in 2002.

與其他中國取得巨大成功的運動項目形成鮮明對比，中國已經在足球運動上掙扎了幾十年，卻只在2002年世界盃上獲得過參賽資格。

Xi specifically declared that hosting, qualifying for, and winning a World Cup were national goals.

習主席還特別指出，主辦、取得資格、贏得世界盃這些都是國家的目標。

Chinese Super League clubs have spent an unprecedented 317 million euros during the current winter transfer window, which closes on Friday, to bring in foreign stars, many of them internationals.

中國足球超級聯賽的各傢俱樂部在上週五冬季轉會窗口關閉時，花費了前所未有的3.17億歐元來招攬國外球星，其中甚至不乏國際球星。

The Chinese transfer fee record has been smashed four times during the period, culminating in Jiangsu Suning paying Shakhtar Donetsk 50 million euros for Alex Teixeira.

在此期間，中國的轉會費紀錄被打破四次，最終紀錄是江蘇蘇寧俱樂部爲了阿萊克斯·特謝拉支付給頓涅茨克礦工足球俱樂部的5千萬歐元。
