The situation at Union of Sports Movements of Loum is becoming increasingly tense as players demand their overdue pay and bonuses. Many players are reportedly owed four months of back pay, leading to significant frustration within the team. Additionally, the players are demanding more humane treatment from their club’s leadership, citing accusations of mistreatment and insults from their leaders.
A particularly distressing issue for the players is the accusations thrown at them by their club, including match-fixing and witchcraft. These allegations have only deepened their dissatisfaction and sense of injustice.
One of the players expressed the collective frustration, stating, “We are tired of being treated like less than nothing and we want SYNAFOC to help us get out of this situation, because it is becoming unbearable.”
In response to the grievances, SYNAFOC (the Syndicate of National Footballers) has intervened. The organization is taking steps to address the players’ concerns and resolve the situation, with a focus on ensuring better treatment and addressing the financial issues that have been a source of stress and dissatisfaction.
This situation highlights the struggles that many football players face at the grassroots level, where financial instability and mistreatment can have a significant impact on both their careers and mental well-being.
