MELAKA: A blueprint is needed to solve the problems faced by football clubs in Malaysia, especially those involving the salary arrears of players, says deputy youth and sports minister Adam Adli.
He said this was important to identify the cause of the problems that often plague club managements and football sponsorship in the country.
The blueprint may be a way of finding a better solution for all parties facing financial problems, in particular to resolve their salary debts to players, he told reporters after officiating the Melaka Open Speed Skating Challenge 2022 here today.
Adam was commenting on the issue of salary arrears owed to players. This problem has plagued Melaka United FC (MUFC) for some time.
Adam said the ministry was aware of the problems affecting the players and management of MUFC.
“We will try to understand the problems they are facing by holding discussions with the team’s management.”
Adam said it was not just MUFC that was facing this problem, adding that several other football clubs were struggling to pay their players.
“The ministry does not have the absolute authority to direct or lay down a timeline for them to resolve this problem as club managements are private or under the state government.”
He also dismissed high salaries as being a factor contributing to this problem because each player’s salary is based on his performance. - FMT
