Philippines Football League (PFL) Commissioner Mikhail Torre met with Global FC management today 23 July 2020 to discuss the issues being raised by its players regarding non-fulfilment of contractual obligations.
The primary objective is to find workable solutions which will benefit both the players and the club so they can move forward and participate in the League.
Global FC addressed the allegations raised against the club that it has incurred delay in its financial obligations to its players and staff. The club management has expressed their commitment to settle all overdue payables to players and staff within the next 10 days to make good on their contractual obligations.
Further to that, the PFF Club Licensing First Instance Body, the PFF’s decision-making body responsible for the issuance of licenses to Professional Clubs, shall convene prior to the start of the League to discuss the status of Global FC and its participation.
“It is highly important for the league to preserve the integrity among clubs,” said Torre. “Players are the League’s primary stakeholders and so we should treat issues such as these with utmost importance. I trust the club to resolve all these issues before proceeding with further plans.”
