China’s professional football leagues recorded 89 disciplinary penalties across five divisions through Nov. 8, marking a 13.6% decrease from 103 total sanctions issued during the previous season, sports.cn reported.
Club compliance and party organization building expanded across the divisions. All 16 Chinese Super League clubs established party organizations, while coverage rates among China League One clubs increased steadily. The league also created an executive decision-making process for the top three men's divisions to increase club participation.
League operations incorporated new digital infrastructure, including a full-stack AI command center designed for automated data collection, risk assessment, and scheduling control. Field officials also utilized the video assistant referee remote center system to manage match reviews across multiple venues.
During the season, the Chinese Super League used VAR 182 times with 159 overturned decisions. China League One recorded 21 VAR uses and 15 overturned calls, while China League Two deployed the system 19 times resulting in 15 reversals. A pitchside broadcast system was also introduced to explain review decisions directly to players and spectators.
The CPFL enforced strict disciplinary guidelines through mandatory pre-match, in-season, and post-season seminars. The league deployed dedicated match supervisors for high-priority fixtures and introduced a point-based conduct management system for all participating clubs.
A nationwide campaign titled “Civilization Action Month” ran from October to November, spanning over 80 regional competition zones and more than 90 clubs across six separate tournaments. The initiative featured 224 anthem-singing ceremonies and 102 team captain declarations, drawing over 1.32 million participants.
The Women’s Chinese Super League recorded zero disciplinary penalties, reflecting strengthened standardization and regulatory compliance across women’s competitions.
League records show a total of 89 penalties handed down through Nov. 8, down from 103 sanctions recorded over the course of the previous season.
The CPFL continued training exchanges with FIFA, the Asian Football Confederation, La Liga, and the English Premier League, alongside youth training camps in France.
