April 5, Beijing Times, a hot debate in the soccer world unfolded last night on the live media platform. Senior reporter Jia Yanfeng bluntly stated that the current Guangzhou Football Club has become the only team in the Chinese Super League whose total amount of unpaid wages owed by players has broken through the collective line. On the same occasion, reporter Wang Wei revealed that the salary arrears problem between Guangzhou team and Guangzhou City FC has lasted for as long as 8 months.
Currently, clubs in the Chinese Super League are generally faced with the plight of unpaid wages, and many players have been victimized and suffered from huge amounts of unpaid wages for a long time. Recently, the CFA quickly introduced a series of solutions and punitive measures. The CFA has made it clear that clubs are not allowed to increase wage arrears in the 2022 season. For the existing salary arrears, the Association has set a clear repayment schedule, requiring the clubs to repay the arrears in stages, otherwise they will face severe penalties such as deduction of points, transfer bans, relegation and even disqualification.
During last night's media interaction, Jia Yanfeng further pointed out that Guangzhou Football Club is the only club among the 18 teams in the Chinese Super League that shares the huge amount of unpaid wages with its players.
