The AFC Disciplinary Committee has announced on its website Saturday that Guangzhou Evergrande should pay a fine of 2,500 U.S. dollars for violating article 34.4 of the AFC Champions League 2015 Regulations.
The article stipulates that each participating club must hand their player selection list together with officials on the team bench list with the names of the participating officials who shall be entitled to sit on the team bench to the AFC match commissioner at latest ninety minutes prior to the commencement of the match.
The AFC also reminded Evergrande that a repeat violation of this provision will be met with more severe punishment.
