FOOTBALL TEAMS FIGHTING TO STAY AFLOAT

The CD Aves players had to leave after they were unable to pay them their salaries. 

It is just two years since the victory of the Portuguese Cup and the club is going through this crisis.

Club and SAD, the company that runs professional soccer, do not meet and the pandemic only worsened the situation.

On the other hand, in France Ligue 1 side Bordeaux is also facing financial difficulties and the supporters take to the streets in protest.

Even at FC Barcelona, the crisis is felt. The players have suffered a 70 percent pay cut during the La Liga suspension.
