Election edit
He was elected in the Xianghe National Football Training Center, Hebei at the 11th membership Congress conference meetings.[5]

Chen did not serve in any sports administrative body before becoming the head of CFA.[7]
Downfall edit
On February 14, 2023, Chen was probed by China Communist Party's anti-graft watchdog Commission for Discipline Inspection for "serious disciplinary violation", which typically indicates corruption.[8] On March 26, 2024, the Intermediate People's Court of Huangshi City, Hubei Province, sentenced Chen Xuyuan, former president of the Chinese Football Federation, in the first instance for accepting bribes. He was sentenced to life imprisonment for accepting bribes, deprived of political rights for life and confiscated all personal property.[9]
