China has separated its football association from the government as a crucial step to inject more independence into the sport.
中国足协已经与政府脱钩，完成了赋予足球运动更大自主权的关键一步。
The Chinese Football Association (CFA) said on Wednesday that the government-run Chinese Football Administrative Center, which virtually runs the game in the country, was removed last week, giving the CFA more latitude in making decisions.
中国足协上周三表示，政府下属机构足球运动管理中心(足管中心)已在上周撤销，中国足协拥有了更大的决策自由。
The CFA said they will enjoy autonomy in personnel management, pay rate setting, foreign visits, finance, marketing and selection of national team coaches.
据中国足协介绍，在人员管理、薪酬体系、外事出访、财务和市场开发、国字号球队教练人选等方面，中国足协都已经有了自主权。

The separation of the association from the government came one year after a top-level team on deepening China's reforms, as led by President Xi Jinping, approved plans to reform the sport.
足协与政府的脱钩是在习近平主席领导的最高级深化改革班子同意改革体育事业的计划之后一年实现的。
"We must develop and revitalize soccer to ensure we are a strong nation of sports," Xi, an avid football fan, told a meeting of the Central Reform Leading Group in March 2015.
“我们必须发展和振兴足球运动来保证我们体育强国的地位。”习主席在2015年3月的中央改革领导小组会议上表示。习主席自己也是一个狂热的足球迷。
In stark contrast to its huge success in many other sports, China has been struggling in soccer for decades and only ever qualified for the World Cup once, in 2002.
与其他中国取得巨大成功的运动项目形成鲜明对比，中国已经在足球运动上挣扎了几十年，却只在2002年世界杯上获得过参赛资格。
Xi specifically declared that hosting, qualifying for, and winning a World Cup were national goals.
习主席还特别指出，主办、取得资格、赢得世界杯这些都是国家的目标。
