Nation sets sights on World Cup

Once regarded as unattainable dreams, hosting and eventually winning the soccer World Cup have become serious goals for China under a national plan unveiled on Monday to make the sport a truly mass game.

One important feature of the soccer reform plan, issued by the State Council, the country's cabinet, is to streamline the sport's widely criticized counterproductive management system.

The reform will delink the semi-administrative Chinese Football Association from the General Administration of Sport of China, which is now managing the association with its own officials, and make the former a full-fledged nongovernmental organization.
