In recent days, KL City FC's captain, Paulo Josué, has highlighted the issue of unpaid salaries within the team, criticising the club’s management for their lack of transparency. Despite potential risks, he disclosed his own seven-month salary delay and the financial difficulties faced by his teammates and staff.

As the new season is well underway, Malaysian football still grapples with an age-old issue on salary disputes. The FA of Malaysia (FAM) and Malaysian Football League (MFL) now may face repercussions from the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) if these issues persist. Sports journalist T. Avinesh joins us to discuss these ongoing challenges.
