Zhu Yi: According to the new regulations of the Chinese Football Association, racial discrimination may result in a fine of 500,000 + closing the stands

Hupu News November 01: During last night’s home game between Chengdu Chengdu and Henan, a video of Chengdu fans racially discriminating against Achim Peng was circulated. In this regard, "Transfer Market" administrator Zhu Yi also interpreted the rules.

Zhu Yi Social Media:

In this year's newly released Code of Discipline and Ethics of the Chinese Football Federation, "discrimination" (including discriminatory behaviors such as race, color, etc.) is a specially added content. This is also in response to FIFA's request to strictly crack down on racial discrimination on the field. Previously, there were many incidents of racial discrimination in professional leagues. Due to the lack of corresponding provisions or evidence, the results were ignored or replaced with other reasons. However, the latest document clearly stipulates that if a fan engages in discriminatory behavior and the evidence is conclusive (generally referring to video recordings, witnesses, match official reports, hearing records, etc.) that can be used to support his behavior, the club he supports will be fined a huge fine of at least 500,000 yuan, and will be further punished in accordance with the disciplinary code of ethics (closing some of the stands or completely emptying the stadium, etc.).
