Paraguayan Football Association Leaves Players Unprotected

In addition, he referred that the same Jorge González, club president, is an active member of the Executive Council of the APF.

It is not usual to see a professional football player from the First Division offering meals through social networks to sustain the economic hardship that he and his family are going through.

Marcos Perrito Gamarra does this because exactly five months ago he has not received a single guaraní as salary. 12 de Octubre, the team with which he reached promotion in 2019, owes him one month's salary and the prize for promotion to the First Division.

And with General, he has already gone four months without being paid. Therefore, Gamarra launched a harsh criticism against the Paraguayan football headquarters: "It cannot be that the APF allows this to happen to the players, we have no support whatsoever. To make matters worse, the club president (Jorge González) is a counselor elected in the assembly of the Association," he expressed very upset.

This week the players have planned to meet and go to the club to make their claim in person. González briefly attended ÚH and said, "They have already published everything regarding the players. Why are you coming to ask me now? Ask me first." When asked if he paid the outstanding salaries, he responded curtly, "You have already spread the worst in public opinion."
