April 5, Beijing - The soccer world is in a state of flux at night. Last night, Jia Yanfeng, a well-known reporter in the soccer world, broke the news on air that Guangzhou became the only club in the Chinese Super League whose total amount of unpaid wages of players has broken the limit. Meanwhile, another reporter, Wang Wei, disclosed that the player salary arrears issue between Guangzhou team and Guangzhou City has been going on for 8 months.
At present, the phenomenon of unpaid wages is widespread among clubs in the Chinese Super League, and many players suffer from long-term and large arrears. Recently, the CFA decisively introduced a series of solutions and punitive measures. The CFA clearly requires that clubs should not have new wage arrears in the 2022 season. For historical salary arrears, the FA has set three repayment nodes, each node needs to repay a certain percentage of salary arrears. If the club fails to complete the repayment on time, it will face serious consequences such as deduction of points, transfer ban, relegation and even disqualification.
During last night's live interaction, Jia Yanfeng further pointed out that Guangzhou is unique among the 18 teams in the Chinese Super League in being the only club to share the plight of unpaid wages with its players.
