There have been many controversies in the global circle. The Hong Kong Football Association held its annual general meeting today (30th). Chairman Bei Junqi responded to the issue of gender discrimination and the issue of the Elite Cup make-up.

Yuyuan coach Pao Jiayao and player Lin Yanting were previously complained about sex discrimination and sexual harassment of football club Robbie Robbie after their match against Pegasus in Tin Shui Wai.

The FA held its annual general meeting tonight. Chairman Bei Junqi interviewed after the meeting and pointed out that women's rights and equality are relatively "sensitive" issues in the world, which involve various regulations and legal opinions, and it is difficult for individuals to comment.

The young player Yuyuan complained that he was overwhelmed and was expelled. Bao Jiayao: I beg the FA to get the female football card again!

However, he pointed out that the FA will definitely discuss the complaints through the board of directors, and the Disciplinary Committee will investigate and punish them. He emphasized that the authorities will "act in accordance with procedures." "It is necessary to confirm the statements of all parties and listen to Yuyuan's explanations. Hope everyone After calming down, there can be in-depth discussions."

Regarding the recent co-signature of a female football player asking the FA to publicly apologize for the incident, Bei Junqi reiterated that the incident did not involve the FA staff in violation of the rules, but would respect any opinions raised by outsiders.

He also said that the verbal conflict between the team and the football certification is a problem that has existed for many years. The FA will review the level of the football certification, but believes that VAR technology will be difficult to implement in Hong Kong in the short term.

As for the semi-final match between Lee & Man and Yuyuan, the FA announced this afternoon that Lee & Man will not participate. Therefore, Yuyuan has entered the final and will fight the Oriental Dragon and Lion for the championship on April 7.

Elite Cup make-up match Rashomon:

Yuyuan Pegasus banned by FA for arrears

According to the Elite Cup tournament regulations, if the club withdraws after the start of the tournament and the team has played the first match, it will be fined no more than 80,000 yuan.

In 2005, Chenxi abandoned the league due to playing in the Asian Association Cup. The FA had convened a disciplinary committee at that time and sentenced Chenxi to lose 0:3 and paid half of the game's cost on the day.

Bei Junqi expressed his personal opinion, saying that the incident was caused by misunderstanding and negligence, or that it was "light-hearted." "Everyone did not coordinate properly in some aspect. Lee & Man has his own ideas and hopes to understand each other."

Lee & Man played against Yuyuan in the Hong Kong Super League earlier, and the controversy over the Elite Cup made the two armies full of gunpowder (click to enlarge):

The irony is that the FA had already expressed the stance of "not participating in the competition" on that day, and still used "sportsmanship" as the ground to decide the make-up match. The garden won without a fight.

Bei Junqi regretted Liwen's refusal to play, "I hope everyone respects the competition system, and all clubs support the FA competition, so that young players can compete more."
