COVID-19: No wage cuts for SPL players and staff despite league suspension via yahoosg
SINGAPORE — Despite the indefinite suspension of the Singapore Premier League , there will be no wage cuts to the players and staff at the various clubs, said the Football Association of Singapore .
“While there were similar concerns from the various local SPL clubs on the issue of financial sustainability, given the indefinite suspension period of the league and the resulting impact on each club’s revenue, the FAS strongly believes that wage cuts at this juncture would be premature and such an action would only serve to be one that would be short-sighted and reactive.”
This would include specific online courses for players, coaches and administrative staff to equip them with future-ready skill sets. “We have always maintained the view that the job security of our SPL players and club officials was of the utmost importance which is why we have arrived at a solution which does not impact their financial earnings at this juncture,” he said in the media release.
