SHANGHAI -- Soccer fans keen to get their hands on a World Cup jersey before the global tournament could be out of luck as a COVID-19 outbreak shuts down a key Chinese manufacturing hub.
The eastern city of Yiwu, known as the world's biggest wholesale market for small goods, is a major producer of balls, jerseys, keychains and other branded paraphernalia for the Nov. 20-Dec.18 tournament being held in Qatar.
