BEIJING, Jan. 9 (Xinhua) -- The Football Association has attached great importance to clearing up the league's wage arrears, so it finally decided to clear up the arrears, according to Football Daily.
According to Soccer Daily, the focus of the 2023 season's league work is on league access, including the resolution of historical wage arrears (2021 season and previous wage arrears) at three levels, i.e., three nodes in 2022; the 2022 season wage arrears trial in the 2023 season's access review; and the ladder access review. The two keys to historical wage arrears and the 2022 season wage arrears review. This time, the CFA is so firm that it is even prepared for the fact that there are only 16 teams left in the Chinese Super League, as well as for the fact that the number of teams in the Chinese A League is less than the number of teams in the Chinese Super League.
The December 31, 2022 node, which is the third node of historical unpaid wages, is now in the review stage, which of course requires a process. At present, two clubs in the Chinese Super League have major problems, other clubs are at risk, other clubs are at some risk, but relatively stable; the situation in China A is not optimistic. Wuhan Changjiang and Hebei are likely to be dissolved. No fewer than five other clubs are at risk, and clubs are potentially at risk; China B League is relatively stable.
The General Administration of Sport and even the national level have attached great importance to the clearing of salary arrears in the league, which naturally gave the CFA more confidence. After three years of withdrawal tide and passive reaction, CFA also decided to clear up salary arrears. Under the premise of providing a buffer period of three nodes, the CFA has changed from a passive reaction to an active reaction, and this time it can make a statement that "even if the number of teams is reduced, the arrears of wages will still be cleared up", which is also a manifestation of its determination.
