Beijing, August 31 (Xinhua) — According to the official microblog of the Super League company, regarding the “insulting banner incident” in Henan competition area, the Super League Committee issued a statement on the 31st that, the Super League committee strongly condemned the insulting behavior carried out by individual fans and seriously criticized the Henan division.
In the 15th round of the Chinese Super League competition against Guangzhou in Songshan Longmen, Henan province, on the 28th, there were home fans who made and carried the referee’s portrait banners to display.

The full text of the statement is as follows:
On August 5, 2022, the Chinese Super League finally returned to the main and away competition after 978 days. The League returns to life and the League returns to the city, striving to realize the desire of fans to watch the match at home and cheer for the home team. Under the current epidemic, the recovery of the main and away venues has more special and symbolic significance.
However, it is a pity and anger that in the 15th round of the 2022 China Ping An Super League, which just ended on August 28, Henan Songshan Longmen vs Guangzhou, a serious nature appeared, the “insulting banner incident”, which had a bad influence, caused serious damage to the image of Chinese football and Chinese Super League, and caused great harm to the parties.
The Super League committee strongly condemned the insulting behavior carried out by individual fans and seriously criticized the Henan division. I hope everyone can jointly maintain the good image of the Chinese Super League, jointly build a good culture of the Chinese Super League, and jointly cherish the hard-won situation of the Chinese Super League.
