It has come to our attention, that players are being told that an agreement has been reached and that full-time players will be paid the monthly wage figures established by the Government.

Kindly note, that the Malta Football Players Association has NOT agreed to such terms and has in fact not been included in these discussions. We met twice with clubs but this was never mentioned.

The statement issued earlier by the Malta Football Association, may give the impression that an agreement has been reached between the employers (clubs) and the employees (players), but in truth, NO such agreement has been reached.

In its guidelines FIFA is “encouraging clubs and employees to work TOGETHER to find appropriate collective agreements”.
Clubs cannot UNILATERALLY decide on contractual matters.

We are aware that these are hard and exceptional circumstances and have been discussing fair and equitable solutions with our member players. We will be presenting new proposals to MFA and Clubs in the very near future.

MFPA kindly asks all players to disseminate this information as much as possible to let fellow players know that MFPA has NOT, on their behalf reached any agreement with clubs yet. We urge players NOT to be pressured into signing any documents in relation to this.
