How possible is this one? How can a professional football club suspends the salaries of its players for two long months? What actually is running through the minds of the administrators?
A trip to Tripoli in Libya to find out what exactly has happened to Al Ahli Tripoli. The club recently celebrated its 74th anniversary as nothing showed the Bianco Verde had indescribable issues.
The club finished on top of Group B of the 2023-24 Libyan Premier League and finished 3rd in the final Championship Group.
Al Ahli Tripoli proceeded to the CAF Confederation Cup and defeated Zanzibar side Uhamiaji 5-1 on aggregate but failed to eliminate Simba in the final play off stage.
Al Ahli Tripoli got an incredible support in the first leg which ended goalless at home against Simba. The Tanzanians smashed them 3-1 to progress to the Money Zone of the CAF Confederation Cup leading to huge confusion in the Tripoli-based club.
News reaching us suggests that after a meeting on Thursday, the club has decided to suspend the salaries of all the players for the next two months for failing to reach the Money Zone and also failing to finish withing the top two of the league in the 2023-24 season to qualify for the CAF Champions League.
The question is, ” Is it possible? How will FIFA react? Is there any law that enables any club to suspend the salaries of its players for two months?
Sporting Director Mr Kara has also been sacked because of the same reasons.
The Libyan 2024-25 season is yet to commence as Al Ahli Tripoli will look forward to reclaim the title from Al-Nasr.
