FIFPro keen to protect players in China amid debt concerns


HONG KONG (Reuters) - Global players' union FIFPro wants to play a role in ensuring the rights of footballers in China are protected after the country's FA told clubs to sort out their finances or risk being denied the opportunity to compete in 2018.

Thirteen clubs in China's top flight, as well as four from the second division and one from the third tier, were named in a letter sent by the CFA claiming all 18 had debts outstanding that could see them denied entry into next year's competitions.
