China creates rules for international games against "false advertising"
The Chinese Football Association (CFA) has issued stricter regulations for the organisation of international matches in the country today, following the discontent among Chinese fans caused by the cases of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.

The new regulations, which aim to crack down on “disorder and false advertising”, require organizers to publicly disclose the terms of participation for marquee players before tickets go on sale.
The rules also forbid organizers from arranging and participating in international matches without CFA approval, and punish violators by banning them from registering similar events for at least two years.
The regulations also set stricter requirements for the submission of pre-event documentation.
Organizers must now submit event plans, FIFA confirmations, agreements with overseas teams and lists of foreign personnel involved 80 and 60 days in advance.
The CFA has also banned advertising that confirms a match before the international body’s approval, and has required organizers to improve ticket sales practices.
In November, US club Inter Miami’s tour of China – which was set to feature Argentine Lionel Messi and Spaniards Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba, among other international stars – was canceled just four days before the first match in the country.
More recently, in February, Messi and Uruguayan Luis Suarez were billed to appear in another Inter Miami friendly in Hong Kong, but neither player took to the field due to injury, angering fans.
In January, Saudi Arabian club Al Nassr’s match in the southern Chinese city of Shenzhen, which was set to feature Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo, was also canceled due to the player picking up an injury in the days leading up to the fixture.
Following the release of the new regulations, users on the Twitter-like social media platform Weibo – which is censored in China – quickly dubbed the rules the “Messi Clause”, in reference to the World Cup winner’s no-show at the friendly in the former British colony.
