Gulf Today
|April 18, 2025
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 lith floor of a building in the eastern city of Hangzhou on Wednesday afternoon.
Boupendza's Hangzhou-based club went ahead with a home Chinese Super League fixture later on Wednesday 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.
