A series of Thai teams are considering to fire the players in the context of the Thai League will have to shut down for a long time.

SMM Sport site recently said that Thai League 2 side Ayutthaya United has just decided to fire a series of players. The reason is because this team no longer has enough money to cover the salary for the players.

“A lot of clubs are also in the same situation as Ayutthaya United when their financial problems are increasingly difficult. Even the salaries for the players they cannot meet. Many teams in Thai League 2, Thai League 3 and Thai League 4 are starting to crisis due to lack of funding and no support for any cost. In the future, there will be many players whose contracts are terminated, ” SMM said.

This is a situation that can be predicted after Thai footballers decided to postpone tournament to September this year. Clubs that have been badly damaged are now much more miserable. The epidemic causes them to pay their players after doing the same thing for more than two months. However, not every team here can do this.

Currently, to cope with this difficult period, most clubs in Thailand are using the salary reduction policy. Salary frame will be in the range of 50 - 70% depending on the player.

The Thai press calculated that the Covid-19 epidemic was dealing a strong blow to Thai football's ambition to reach. At least US $ 5 million (copyright, souvenir sales, admission fees, etc.) has evaporated during the epidemic.

To overcome this situation, clubs in Thailand are proposing bailout packages from the Thai government. They hope the Ministry of Tourism and Sports of this country will support 2000 players, 500 coaches with the minimum amount of 5000 baht (3.5 million) / month for at least 3 more months.
