The Chinese Football Association issued several measures to strengthen and improve the fair execution of football referees. It will be implemented from the date of release and will be subject to social supervision.
The promotion and demotion of referees is based on the performance of referees in leagues, FA Cup and other competitions, focusing on the assessment of refereeing ability, theory, physical fitness and compliance with referee work disciplines. In the new season, referee penalty standards will be in line with international standards, encourage reasonable confrontation and increase the net time.
