THE Hongkou Football Stadium won't be ready in time for the Shanghai Greenland Shenhua's Chinese Super League home match against Changchun Yatai which was scheduled for April 16, the Chinese Football Association says. The match will now be in Changchun on April 15.

The fire that broke out in the rock-climbing club in the stadium on March 28 partially ruined its half-open roof and outer decorations, as well as the power supply system.

Despite the best efforts, it could bot be repaired in time for the April 16 match.

The CFA said on April 7the match would be moved to April 15, with a 3pm kick-off.

On August 5, Shenhua will play against Yatai at Hongkou for their second meet of the season. Previously, the second meet was scheduled to be held in Changchun.

Greenland Shenhua is seventh in the standings, on four points. They are challenging Manuel Pellegrini's Hebei China Fortune in Qinhuangdao on April 8.
