Players strike at Vietnamese club Thanh Hoa over $640K in unpaid wages
August 8 – Players at a leading Vietnamese club have gone on strike over unpaid salaries and bonuses, a rare move in Asian football.
As a result, the club, Thanh Hoa, have withdrawn from the inaugural season of the AFC Champions League Two.
Thanh Hoa had qualified for the continental competition – which kicks off in September – after winning the Vietnamese Cup in July.
“The players have been on strike for three days already and have stopped training,” Thanh Hoa coach Velizar Popov told The Associated Press on Tuesday.
