"The club has announced this morning (Friday) that Beijing teamwill not play Saturday's league match as a boycott for the unconvinced punishment handed by the Chinese Football Association (CFA). But it's not the final decision," general manager Yang Zuwu told Xinhua on Friday afternoon.

The national soccer governing body CFA announced Thursday nightto fine the Beijing-based club 300,000 yuan (about 36,320 US dollars) and three points on the league table for a disturbance atShenyang two weeks ago.

Beijing Hyundai, also known as Guo'an, declared last Wednesday to provisionally pull out due to what it said were injustices and unfairness in the nation's top league after the team walked out ofthe away match to Shenyang Jinde on October 2 in protest at a refereeing decision on a second half penalty.

But on Thursday, the disputed judge Zhou Weixin was also given a ban by the CFA to be ruled out from refereeing in the rest eightround matches of the season.

Shenyang was awarded three points for the game after the CFA judged it a 3-0 loss of Beijing.

It was then speculated that the Beijing club will stop their withdrawal threat since the results were somehow satisfying.

"Our team will attend Saturday's match if the board change their mind since the squad has been training normally despite all the disputes," added Yang, who was banned from pitch for six months as additional punishment to the fines.

Beijing's league match rivals Qingdao have arrived at Beijing on Friday and trained at the Workers' Stadium.
