After a 0-3 loss to Beijing国安 on August 18, three申花 fans were detained for harassing a child wearing a national team jersey. The Chinese Football League penalized申花's home ground and fined国安 50,000 yuan for unauthorized clothing in the away section.申花's official statement triggered fan outrage, with some organizations planning to boycott future matches. Fans argued the club should take responsibility for fan behavior, while the league's dual punishment showed governance measures targeting both sides.
