Live broadcast on October 16 according to headline news reports, Song Kai, the chairman of the new Chinese Football Association, pushed forward the development of “three big-ball sports” in Liaoning province during his tenure as director of Liaoning Sports Bureau.

According to Public Information, Song Kai was born in January, 1965with a postgraduate degree. He began to serve as the director of Liaoning Sports Bureau and secretary of the Party group in February, 2016. In the seven years since Song Kai served as the director of Liaoning sports bureau and party secretary, Liaoning won three CBA championship trophy men’s basketball.

At the end of March this year, Gao Zhidan, director of the State General Administration of Sports and secretary of the party group, and his party, once investigated the development work of “three big-ball sports” in Liaoning and held a symposium. Song Kai, then director of Liaoning Sports Bureau, introduced the thoughts and measures of Liaoning’s “three big-ball sports” revitalization and development.

Song Kai mentioned the development of “three big-ball sports” in public interviews many times. At the signing ceremony when Liao Ning settled in Panjin on women’s basketball in the middle of April, Song Kai said that the development of Liaoning’s “three big-ball sports” was unbalanced at present, and Liaoning men’s basketball was outstanding. Other teams had insufficient social enterprise sponsorship, serious brain drain and other deficiencies.

In 2018, Liaoning men’s basketball finally won the first professional league championship in 23 years. Song Kai said at that time: “Liao basketball won the championship is the result of the unremitting struggle of several generations of Liaoning sports people. With the continuous activation of the driving force of professional sports reform, Liaoning Basketball can not only continuously contribute outstanding talents to Chinese basketball, and it will certainly play the unique role of sports morale and consumption in the process of Liaoning’s revitalization.”
