BPL clubs meet as financial crisis deepens

Already, Mochudi Centre Chiefs has failed to fulfil a fixture and were expected to face the wrath of the BPL’s Disciplinary Committee last night. The team is knee-deep in debt, and is not alone in this predicament, as clubs battle to stay afloat. The majority of the 16 BPL clubs are finding it difficult to consistently pay players’ salaries, and keep pace with other financial commitments. Notwane is one of the latest sides to raise its hand, indicating that the going is increasingly getting tough.

‘Toronto’ has even suggested cutting salaries as part of financial restructuring in order to ensure viability.
