Recently, the players of Guizhou Hengfeng FC in the Central League have spoken out collectively on social media, calling on the relevant agencies to intervene and help them recover their salary arrears from the club. According to the players' description, the club has so far failed to pay 14 and a half months' salary, as well as some bonuses and performance for the 2019 season so far.
There are media reports that the Guizhou players have reached a consensus and decided not to travel to the tournament, while the head of the club is currently out of contact.
Soccer commentator Lu Mi pointed out: "Up to now, Guizhou team has only paid four and a half months of wages, plus last year's salary arrears, the accumulated amount should not be underestimated. Although all players have re-signed their contracts in accordance with the FA's requirements, the issue of unpaid wages has not been resolved. Today is the day the team is supposed to enter the tournament, but Guizhou players have decided to collectively absent themselves. At the moment, the head of the club can't be contacted and the players are facing a dilemma of not knowing what to do."
