Players of Legon Cities FC have taken a stand against unpaid salaries and bonuses by boycotting training sessions ahead of their Ghana Premier League clash against Nsoatreman FC.
The players have endured three months without receiving their salaries and other owed bonuses, despite their recent victory over Nations FC in week 22.
This boycott underscores the financial challenges confronting many clubs in Ghana’s Premier League and the impact it has on players.
As preparations for their week 23 fixture against Nsoatreman FC intensify, the entire playing squad opted not to attend training on Wednesday.
Reports suggest that unless the club’s leadership addresses the payment issues promptly, the players are prepared to extend their boycott throughout the week.
Legon Cities FC has struggled to meet expectations since the resumption of the Ghana Premier League last month. With just one win and a draw from five games in the second half of the campaign, coupled with three losses, the Royals find themselves in 13th position on the league table.
With a tally of 28 points, Legon Cities FC understands the urgency to improve their performance and standings in the domestic top-flight competition.
