Last week Second League (Vilafranquense SAD) and the Third Division (União de Leiria SAD) asked for the intervention of the Portuguese Players Union beacuse of unpaid salaries.

The situation in the Leiria's team led even the players to stop in the first minute of the game with Torreense, as a protest against the mentioned unpaid salaries, hoping to draw public attention for their case and for the problems in the third division, related with non-payment and mismanagement.

The Union was in a meeting with União de Leiria team, helping with the salary guarantee fund, to ensure that no player has difficulties in this christmas time.

In spotlight will also be the city of Coimbra, in the year 2021. For the first time, Portugal will host the World Conference on Science and Soccer, which will be organized by the School of Sport Sciences and Physical Education of the Coimbra University, with the support of the Portuguese Players Union.

It is the largest scientific event in the world, exclusively for football, bringing together the best professionals and researchers at the international level.

The year 2019 is ending and to 2020 we wish the whole football family, especially our players, a year full of successes and achievements. Happy holidays!
