The fall-out from the sudden resignation of Huang Che-ming continues to reverberate around Taiwanese football.

On Wednesday, the Ministry of Sport announced that the CTFA has three days to produce a comprehensive report of its operating procedures. Meanwhile, media reports claim that the association’s secretary general was also summoned for a face-to-face interviews with representatives from the Ministry for Sport.

The chaos engulfing the CTFA stems from the decision of Huang to quit as mens national team coach after just three games. In the aftermath of that announcement, Huang gave an interview with a Taiwanese football website and laid out several concerns relating to facility access, organization and communication with the professional clubs of overseas based players.

Since then, a number of new claims have entered the public sphere including;

• The hotels that the Taiwanese team stayed in for away game in Thailand was a 1000 RMB-a-night budget hotel which lacked a gym or dining facilities. This has since been verified by photos obtained by various local media outlets.

• A number of European and North American based players are reluctant to return to national team duty after the departure of previous national team coach, Gary White, back in June.

• Overseas players based in China were waiting to be called up for the Thailand games by the CTFA but no-one contacted them. If true, this was the likely reason for Taiwan’s weakened squad for the Thailand games.

Additionally, Chen Po-Liang, the national team captain, has also gone public with his frustrations.

Calling Huang, who was a former national team player before he transitioned into coaching, ‘a hero of the Taiwanese men’s national team and my idol as a kid’, Chen said that Huang had no choice but to resign. ‘It’s because he’s so disrespected and unappreciated [by the CTFA]’, Chen is quoted as saying, before adding; ‘to put it bluntly, it’s Taiwanese people bullying Taiwanese people.’

It is understood that Chen and Huang will also be interviewed by the National Sports Department as part of an urgent review of the CTFA.

This is an ongoing situation but the next shoe to drop will be the Sports Departments assessment and what that means for the CTFA and its handling of the various national team programs.
