The banner was later removed by security staff at the stadium.
Hyderabad FC locked horns with FC Goa in the 70th match of ISL season 2023-24 at the Gachibowli Stadium. In a poignant display of frustration and solidarity, Hyderabad FC staff/fans brought a stark banner inscribed with the words “SALARY PLEASE ! – HFC STAFF” to the stands during a recent match.
The heartfelt plea was a direct response to the ongoing turmoil surrounding the club’s finances and the reported non-payment of wages to players and staff.
The banner, held aloft by passionate supporters/staff of the club, served as an unambiguous reminder of the challenges faced by Hyderabad FC both on and off the pitch. As the team battled it out on the field, their loyal fans/staff made their voices heard differently, demanding accountability from the club’s management.
A lot of key players have left the Hyderabad FC squad after payment-related issues. Hyderabad FC are currently under a ban and so couldn’t sign any player in the January winter transfer window. The fans came with the message of solving this issue so that the champions of ISL 2021-22 can bounce back.
However, the protest was short-lived as stadium security swiftly intervened and removed the banner from the stands. The actions of the security personnel sparked mixed reactions among spectators.
Behind the scenes, Hyderabad FC have been dealing with countless issues stemming from financial instability. Reports of delayed or unpaid wages have cast a shadow over the club, leading to discontent among players and staff. Several key players have already departed the club in search of greener pastures, further worsening the team’s on-field challenges.
In the wake of the banner incident, calls for action have grown louder, with supporters urging the club’s officials to address the underlying issues and prioritize the wellbeing of its players and staff.
