MANCHESTER - Fifa is getting ready to deal with complaints and appeals over wage cuts for players, producing guidelines for clubs and football bodies looking to cut costs during the stoppage caused by the coronavirus pandemic, an internal document seen by Reuters showed.
Fifa's Coronavirus working group met last week and agreed on a wide range of issues, summarised in the document, including that player contracts due to run out in June should be extended to the end of any resumed season. Crucially, the document states that where clubs and employees cannot reach agreement and where"national law does not address the situation or collective agreements are not applicable", unilateral decisions to change contracts"will only be recognised when they are otherwise deemed reasonable" by Fifa's Dispute Resolutions Chamber or Players Status Committee.
The Fifa document summarising the working group's views will be submitted to the Bureau of the Fifa Council for approval.
