Fifa chief Sepp Blatter has joined Asian Football Confederation (AFC) president Mohammed bin Hammam in urging a more professional approach to help the sport grow in the region.
Blatter, an old ally of bin Hammam who has keenly supported his Vision Asia philosophy to develop the game, said clubs need to understand that they must be run as commercial entities.

"The problem of professionalism in leadership at the level of national associations and the clubs, it is a general problem, and not just in Asia," he said.

"If you look at the big European associations, the best leadership is in the clubs because they are professionals and they are organized.

"But you don't have the professional governance in the national associations or even in the leagues. The clubs are commercial entities and they must be organized or they won't work."

He said Asian clubs need to adopt a similar commercial and professional approach if they wanted to succeed.

While some Gulf countries, and Japan and South Korea, have built reputable and profitable domestic leagues, most nations in Asia are still struggling.

"You have it in the Arabic countries, not only in Saudi Arabia but other Gulf countries, and the J-League and the Korean league which is good," he said.

"But if you compare Asian football to the good leagues in Europe then you have to wait. It is a question of investment and you have to try and bring clubs toward this."

He commended the AFC's Vision Asia - a program to raise the standards of football - but said the scourge of corruption must also be tackled, particularly in China, and leagues must be wary of trying to grow too quickly.

"Football is a game and in a game there is gambling and gambling is naturally cheating but this is a matter for national associations," he said.

"They have to control that but it is difficult the bigger an association is. Can you imagine it in China with 1.3 billion people?

"In China the development of football has come too fast in consideration of the culture of the Chinese. When you see the economic development and the political development, it came in steps.

"Football came in and tried to change everything in one day."

The AFC has warned that crooked referees, rampant match fixing and gambling in the Chinese Super League could kill the game.

Vietnam is another example. Police there are investigating major match-fixing and corruption allegations implicating about 90 referees, coaches and players in the professional V-League.

Graft is not new in Asian football, with cases before in Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore, the AFC admitted. But Blatter insisted the problem is being tackled with Fifa taking a leading role after setting up a new body called "For the Good of the Game Task Force."

As well as addressing corruption globally, the task force will deal with issues such as behavior of players and agents and the continued interference by some governments in the running of football in their countries.

"There are more good activities in football than cheating, corruption and doping but these are subjects I have mentioned before and we have to go and look at that and we have started to work on it," he said.

CFA and CSL clubs will hold a meeting next week, they'll set up CSL League company by then~ I Don't know if the IPL or Arab Leagus have the same commercial organise, but I do believe J-league and K-league have such kind of companies~ today's CSL = CSL committe + Chinese football company, CSl comitte manage the League and CF company came in charge of the business operations, during Last years"G7 club revolution", the clubs want a CSL Professional League company, that means the clubs manage the League not the FA,and now~ finnally after a long time dispute, The CFA and CSL club decided to set up a CSL Ltd first, that means attract more sponsors and increase revenue streams for clubs. The board will consist members from clubs and CFA.

I think that means~whether CFA like or not~ we are trying to do the samething as Asian's succesful leagues- as Blatter mentioned,the arab leagues, IPL, K-League and J-league - the professional governance in the League!
