The team had to forfeit over the colour of players hair.

A Chinese university football team had to forfeit their football game due to the colour of a players hair.

Fuzhou University and Jimei University were meant to play in a intercollegiate tournament last week.

Although, the referee ended the game early as players had dyed hair, which was against the rules.

According to nytimes, all players had either black or dark-brown hair but were the wrong shades.

Fujian Province Department of Education’s rules governing university soccer state that players must not wear accessories or jewelry, or have “strange” hairstyles or dyed hair.

State-run media reports, coaches from both teams rushed to buy black hair dye to meet the requirements.

Jimei University players argued that one of their opponents hair was not “black enough”.

Without enough players Fuzhou University had to forfeit the game.
