China to kick off season in July after SARS scare


BEIJING: China will kick off its domestic football season in early July after postponing it for almost two months due the outbreak of SARS, state newspapers said yesterday. 

But it was unclear whether five A League clubs from non-infected areas would agree to take part in the action after they initially opposed the decision to begin play on July 2, the Beijing Youth Daily said.
