Evergrande fined US$3.8m for kit swap in ACL final
Print Edition
CHINESE Super League champion Guangzhou Evergrande Taobao must pay almost US$4 million in damages to automaker Dongfeng Nissan for failing to wear kit sponsored by the company, state media said yesterday.
The two-time AFC Champions League winner said on Wednesday it had received a ruling from Guangzhou Huadu District People’s Court to cough up 24,778,645 yuan (US$3.8 million) in fines, Xinhua news agency said. Dongfeng Nissan, a joint venture between Japan’s Nissan Motors and China’s Dongfeng Motor Corp headquartered in Wuhan, sued the team for changing kit during the second half of the 2015 ACL final, where it beat the UAE’s al-Ahli 1-0, Xinhua said. The company had paid more than US$16 million to have Evergrande’s official red shirts emblazoned with its Chinese name for the 2014-2015 season. In the final, however, the jerseys were swapped for ones bearing the name of Evergrande Life, an insurance company affiliated with the team’s majority shareholders, instead.
