The chairman of the troubled Chinese Football Association (CFA) Nan Yong has been replaced by Wei Di, the former head of China's water sports federation, following an investigation into match-fixing in the country’s domestic league.
Nan was arrested last week in connection with the corruption scandal that has rocked Chinese football. Vice-chairman Yang Yimin was also held by police and has been replaced at the CFA.
Cui Dalin, vice-minister of the General Administration of Sport, said: “The decision to remove Nan Yong as director and Yang Yimin as deputy director has been made since both of them are now helping the police in investigations into the commercial bribery and match-fixing cases."
As well as the water sports federation, Wei has also been in charge of China's boxing and weightlifting organisations.
