“Hard to keep up”: Unión women's squad protest unpaid wages | OneFootball

Through a public statement, the members of Unión de Santa Fe’s women’s football squad made visible the difficult financial situation they are going through due to unpaid wages and the lack of concrete responses from the club’s leadership.

“We have only been paid one full month”

In the text, the footballers explain the enormous sacrifice they make to compete in national tournaments, which requires them to travel every two weeks. Although they make it clear that this is a commitment they take on by their own choice, they stressed the need to receive basic financial support to cover travel expenses, training, and competitions.

“So far, we have only been paid one full month, and the uncertainty surrounding the rest of the payments is making this situation increasingly difficult to sustain,” they said bluntly.

A call for dialogue and decent conditions

Far from seeking direct conflict or pointing fingers at specific individuals, the players emphasized that the sole purpose of the statement is to make public a reality that affects the entire squad equally. Despite the adverse context, they said they continue training with the same commitment and responsibility as always.

The statement concludes with a strong call to the club’s authorities to find an institutional solution through communication: “We hope this situation can be resolved through dialogue and with concrete answers, which we have not had so far”, they said, reminding that the basic working conditions are essential to sustain the growth of the sport.
