Football fans in China were outraged by Zhejiang FC's decision to go ahead with a league match hours after the death of their Gabon international striker Aaron Boupendza.

BEIJING - Football fans in China were outraged by Zhejiang FC's decision to go ahead with a league match hours after the death of their Gabon international striker Aaron Boupendza.

Police have ruled out foul play in the death of the 28-year-old, who died after falling from the 11th floor of a building in the eastern city of Hangzhou on April 16.

Boupendza's Hangzhou-based club went ahead with a home Chinese Super League fixture later in the day against Meizhou Hakka, sparking grief and anger from fans.

"Shouldn't this match have been postponed?" one user wrote on the X-like social media platform Weibo.

"Why didn't they postpone the match? The Chinese Super League is really very amateur," another posted on WeChat.
