"We'll have to cut salaries": Ceferin speaks on overloaded match schedule

In recent months, a growing number of players, coaches, and analysts have criticized FIFA and UEFA for the intense match schedule. UEFA President Aleksander Ceferin has now responded to the criticism.

Details: The Slovenian official stated that the only alternative to a high volume of matches is to reduce player salaries.

"If we reduce the number of matches, wages will have to be reduced as well. There is no other way.

It's easy always to attack FIFA and UEFA, but the thing is simple. If you play less, you get less money. Who should complain are the factory workers who get €1,000 per month”.

Reminder: Recently, Ballon d'Or 2024 winner Rodri hinted that players might consider a strike due to excessive workloads.

FIFA and UEFA face the most criticism for the Champions League reform and the revamped Club World Cup.
