Overview

The original China Football Association was founded in 1924. Affiliated to FIFA in 1931, it was relocated to Taiwan following the end of Chinese civil war (see Chinese Taipei Football Association).
The current Chinese Football Association was founded in the People's Republic of China after 1949. Its headquarters is located in Beijing. The current President is Xie Yalong.
Beginning with the 2004 season, the former Division I league was replaced by the Chinese Super League or CSL.
There is also a second-division "Jia League", sometimes called the "China League".
China also has national teams for both men and women. The women have been more competitive internationally than the men, losing in a penalty shootout to the USA in the 1999 Women's World Cup final, and also finishing fourth in 1995.
