Players from a Senegalese Ligue 1 club are on strike!

The backdrop to this is unpaid wages.

According to the media outlet Dsports, the players of Senegalese club Guédiawaye FC have had enough of broken promises. That is why they have decided to go on strike. The media outlet corroborates its information with statements from some of the club's players who spoke on condition of anonymity.

"The strike is in effect until further notice. We will not train until the club pays our salary arrears. We haven't been paid in three months. Under these conditions, it's impossible to perform well. Worse still, we don't even know who is actually running the club."

In the Senegalese Ligue 1, Guédiawaye FC has been struggling since the start of the 2025-26 season. It is bottom of the table with 7 points after 13 rounds.
