JAKARTA - Referee from China, Shen Yinhao was appointed as the referee for the semifinals of the U-23 Indonesian national team vs Uzbekistan U-23 2024 Asian Cup. She was appointed by Shen Yinhao to be a polemic for Indonesian supporters and netizens. Understandably, the performance of this Chinese referee often caused controversy. He was once a referee at the 2023 SEA Games in Cambodia.

Launching from the South China Morning Post report, Shen Yinhao in 2020 became the public spotlight of Chinese football because the thesis he made was considered plagiarism. Not only one scientific work, one thesis for his doctorate is also suspected of plagiarizing it. Yinhao's thesis entitled 'Research on the current situation and traditional school development strategies in the city of Shanghai'. The thesis allegedly plagiarized Xuan Haide's thesis with the title 'Investigation of the current situation and overcoming the development of traditional football in Anhui Province'.

Tongji University where Yinhao took the master's degree and doctoral degree has investigated the case. Unfortunately, his own position on campus served as deputy dean of the Tongji University Football Academy. Although Yinhao's alleged plagiarism caused a public scene, it was threatened that the referee's status could be revoked, this case evaporated and no legal investigation was found.

Shen Yinhao has also been a target in Chinese football. On October 17, 2020, during the Chinese Super League match he awarded a penalty that benefited Shandong Luneng. In fact, the leadership of referee Yinhao in the Chinese League in 2013 made Rizhiquan vs Chengdu Sheffield United's Guangdong match have a chaotic tail. Watch the video below.
