Young Players at Elite Club Demand Overdue Wages
Young players at a Thai professional football club are posting online complaints after wages went unpaid for up to six months, with some struggling to cover basic living expenses.
Young players from a prominent Thai professional football club have collectively posted critical messages about their organization after salaries failed to arrive, with some not receiving pay for nearly six months. Following earlier instances where former players from the same club publicly demanded unpaid wages, the situation has not improved. Young team members are now continuously posting salary complaints online. The players' posts use different wording but convey the same frustration—comments like "How are we supposed to survive?", "Only 900 baht left, can't even sleep at a temple", "I can't work without pay", and "Five months without salary and nothing changes." One lengthy post pleaded for empathy toward workers, noting personal financial hardship and asking for someone to help address the situation. However, the club has yet to respond or provide any updates to resolve the players' concerns.
