Date of last update: 2020-06-04 17:40The National Anthem Bill (National Anthem Law) was passed by the Legislative Council today (4th). In the past, foreign aid from the Chinese Super League had been absent during the singing of the "Volunteer March" and was suspended by the Chinese Football Association. Do the naturalized players in the Hong Kong Football Team have to learn the national anthem? Faced with the same situation, will the FA punish it?
The National Anthem Act requires everyone to sing in a manner consistent with their dignity when they are required to sing the national anthem. The Hong Kong football team attended international events and played the national anthem before the game. However, the naturalized players of the Hong Kong team did not understand Chinese, or they could not sing "Volunteer March".

The Chinese Super League foreigner was fined and suspended while playing the national anthem
In addition, the National Anthem Act stipulates that during the singing of the national anthem, the attendees must stand up and behave solemnly, and there is no disrespect for the national anthem.
Although the law does not set penalties for this provision, taking the 2018 Chinese Super League Shandong Luneng Dou Shanghai Shanggang as an example, Luneng Brazilian striker Diago Tedelli was played by the Chinese Football Association before playing the national anthem before the game. Penalty for 1 game suspended.

At that time, the Chinese Football Association pointed out that Diago Tedil "had not behaved with solemnity and caused adverse social impact." This foreign aid had to post an apology afterwards.
At the end of last year, French player Guerschon Yabusele of the Chinese Men's Basketball Professional League (CBA) was severely warned and fined 10,000 yuan for not paying attention to the national anthem.

Football Association: Depending on whether the action deliberately has no penalty
The Chinese Football Association has stated that it requires national football players to cultivate patriotism, and to recognize the national flag, national emblem and sing the national anthem. Does the Hong Kong Football Association follow the relevant guidelines?
Football Association President Bei Junqi said in an inquiry that the club expressed understanding of the situation of the naturalized players and believed that the opponent only needs to stand up and show respect when singing, "it is already very satisfactory."

If Hong Kong will not stand during the national anthem, will the FA punish players like the Chinese Football Association?
Bei Junqi emphasized that the domestic situation does not fully apply to Hong Kong, and the Football Association will decide whether to punish the player or not according to whether the player deliberately violated the singing etiquette. "If there is a mosquito flying over, there is no way for the player to shoot the mosquito. The FA has not set a penalty for this. It will be referred to the FA Disciplinary Committee."
