Dai Weijun has filed a complaint with the Chinese Football Association (CFA) in an attempt to restore his freedom of contract. However, the Chinese soccer world is full of players like Dai Weijun who are in conflict with their clubs over unpaid wages. In order to ensure the harmonious operation of the league, it is difficult for the CFA to accept Dai Weijun's appeal.
Recently, the Chinese Football Association (CFA) has received numerous cases similar to Dai Weijun's, in which players have asked the CFA to arbitrate their cases in order to restore their free status, so that they can move to other clubs freely. At the same time, the clubs have also filed appeals, revealing their financial difficulties on the one hand, and expecting the association to give more consideration to the interests of the clubs in these difficult times on the other. A club executive revealed: "At present, more than 90% of Chinese soccer clubs are facing financial problems, and more than half of the clubs in the Chinese Super League have salary arrears. If the players leave the team on the grounds of salary arrears, I am afraid that most clubs will find it difficult to survive."
It has been revealed that although the relevant authorities have not yet announced a clear arbitration result in Dai Weijun's case, they have privately revealed a tendency not to support Dai Weijun's return to free agency. This indicates that the Chinese soccer administration is not inclined to deal with this kind of incident at the current special period, and at the same time intends to maintain the stability of the league.
However, this practice inevitably makes people question whether there is a phenomenon of "non-compliance with the law" on the part of the management.
