Evergrande gets $818m as football stadium land deal cancelled
Heavily-indebted Chinese property giant Evergrande says it will receive $818m after cancelling a contract to buy land rights for a new football stadium.

Construction of the stadium started more than two years ago but has been hit by issues for months.
The stadium was for Guangzhou FC, a top tier team that Evergrande bought a controlling stake of in 2010.
The money from the deal will be used to settle debts related to the project, the company added.
The announcement comes as Evergrande tries to raise cash to make debt payments.
Once China's top-selling property developer, the firm has been struggling since last year under the weight of more than $300bn of debts, of which around $20bn is held by investors from outside the country.
Under this deal, the land, buildings and other items associated with the stadium will be transferred to the Guangzhou Municipal Planning and Natural Resources Bureau, the company said in a statement to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.
In September 2021, it said building work on the Guangzhou Evergrande Football Stadium would continue despite its debt crisis. But a government body took control of the stadium last year and planned to sell it, Reuters news agency reported in November.
At the time, Reuters reported that Evergrande was also considering selling Guangzhou FC. But Evergrande's latest statement did not mention the club.
