The two groups merged in 1988 season but divided again in 1989. In 1994, as separate of the sports organization reform plan, the taiwanese Jia-A League became the country ‘s first gear professional football league. The Jia-A league achieved achiever in its early on years, but in the recently ’ 90s heavy criticism existed towards the League ‘s management practices like the miss of continuity in key policies, and some of its extremity clubs was criticised for a miss of sustainable development. At the lapp clock, the league was affected by gambling, match-fixing and corruption. [ 6 ] the chaotic country of Jia-A causes trouble investment environment with sponsors and club owners bowing out. The Chinese Football Association then decided to reform the League system, which ultimately led to the creation of the chinese Super League. The initial concept is to introduce in truth commercial methods and let professional football market operate more freely, drawing on the experience of professional Leagues in Europe to redesign the league structure and tone professionalism.
