Chinese soccer club Hebei can’t pay bills, future uncertain

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — The future of another Chinese soccer club is in question with Hebei FC saying it struggling to pay its utility bills. All of Hebei’s youth players will go on vacation in an effort to reduce costs. Defending champion Jiangsu FC ceased operating in February in a cost-cutting measure. Tianjin Tianhai went out of business in May 2020.
