Financial woes to be over soon for Kuala Lumpur FC


PETALING JAYA: Kuala Lumpur can look forward to better days ahead.

The board members of the Super League club have issued a press statement saying players' salaries are being paid and they hope to solve their financial conundrum through a unified approach.

"The board members of Kuala Lumpur United Football Club Sdn Bhd, who convened for a board meeting on Thursday (July 25), are pleased to announce that the board has cleared all the misunderstandings that arose," it said in the statement.

"Moving forward, the board unanimously agrees that all press statements will reflect the unity and collective decisions of its members.

"Salaries are now being paid, and statutory payments will be made progressively.

"We are unified and will stand behind the club to ensure Kuala Lumpur continues its strong start to the season, beats the odds and keeps producing results."

A few weeks ago, club captain Paulo Josue revealed that he is owed seven months' salary.

Transforming lives through art, education and sustainability

The club also owed Employees Provident Fund (EPF) payments from last year, which was revealed by board member Syed Yazid Syed Omar.

But Kuala Lumpur Football Association (KLFA) acting president Datuk Abdullah Sani Abdul Hamid came forward to say the salary arrears and delayed EPF payments from February last year will be settled soon.
