Highlanders Football Club, affectionately known as Bosso, is facing a crisis as players have threatened to leave the team due to unpaid wages. The club, one of the most successful and beloved in Zimbabwe, has been struggling financially, and the players have reached their breaking point.
According to sources, the players have not received their salaries since December 31st, and with the new season just underway, they are demanding that the club’s management takes immediate action to address the issue.
“We can’t continue to play without being paid,” said one of the players, who wished to remain anonymous. “We have families to feed and bills to pay, just like everyone else. It’s not fair that we’re expected to perform on the field without being compensated for our work.”
The players have given the club’s management an ultimatum: pay us our outstanding wages or we’ll be forced to leave. This has sent shockwaves through the club, with fans and supporters calling on the management to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.
Highlanders FC has a rich history in Zimbabwean football, with a loyal fan base and a reputation for producing talented players. However, the club has struggled financially in recent years, and this latest crisis has raised concerns about its future.
The club’s management has promised to look into the matter and find a solution, but the players are skeptical. “We’ve heard promises before, but nothing has changed,” said the player. “We need action, not words.”
As the standoff continues, Bosso fans are anxiously waiting to see what will happen next. Will the club’s management find a way to pay the players and keep them from leaving, or will the team be forced to start the season without some of its key players?
