Players of Ligue 3 football club Varzim stood on the field for a minute at the start of the match against Lusitania de Lurosa in the eighth round of the competition’s champions’ qualifying stage.
This measure, according to a source in the Póvoa de Varzin detachment, Luse said, is related to a protest over three months of non-payment of wages to the working group on the creation of the historical emblem of Póvoa de Varzim.
As soon as the match referee blew the whistle to start the match, Varzim’s team remained motionless on the field, earning the respect of the opponent, and Lusitania de Lurosa only exchanged the ball without aiming at Poveiros’ goal.
Varzim is experiencing a serious financial crisis, which has exacerbated the difficulties in fulfilling obligations, especially to the team.
The club has been run by an administrative committee since January following the dismissal of the previous management led by Edgar Pinho.
In this stage of qualifying for the Ligue 3 champions, Varzim are in last place with four points from seven games played in this stage.
