Soccer still strong, says ma

Infront China is looking out for potential partnerships in Chinese soccer despite all the scandals which have dogged the sport in recent times.

"I believe soccer is still the No 1 sport in China and the government and the Chinese Football Association (CFA) have shown their determination to solve the problems." Ma Guoli, CEO and managing director of Infront China, told China Daily.

"The CFA's officials must be pretty busy right now but if they need support from us and want to have our cooperation some day, Infront would surely consider it," Ma said.
