SPANISH PLAYERS’ STRIKE IS OFF...
The Spanish players’ strike, which forced the opening weekend of the Primera Liga to be postponed last week, is over.
The Spanish Footballers’ Association (AFE) and the Professional Football League (LFP) finally reached agreement at their seventh meeting, which started on Wednesday night and finished on Thursday after nearly 12 hours of talks.
There were several issues at stake, but the main one was over 43 million euros of unpaid wages, with around 200 players affected in the Liga’s top two divisions.
The AFE wanted a guarantee from the LFP that players’ salaries would be paid if clubs went bankrupt and they have now received that, as well as an assurance that players would be released if they were not paid.
The LFP now have to find a new date for last weekend’s postponed programme.
