The total debt owed to the referees amounts to a staggering 10,200,000 FCFA.<\/p>\n<p>In a quote from the letter, the referees express their resolution:<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_17895\" style=\"width: 236px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17895\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-17895\" src=\"https:\/\/kick442.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/IMG-20240613-WA0173-226x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"226\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kick442.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/IMG-20240613-WA0173-226x300.jpg 226w, https:\/\/kick442.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/IMG-20240613-WA0173-9x12.jpg 9w, https:\/\/kick442.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/IMG-20240613-WA0173-585x776.jpg 585w, https:\/\/kick442.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/IMG-20240613-WA0173.jpg 590w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 226px) 100vw, 226px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-17895\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Refs announce strike action<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&#8220;The regional referees, after consultation, decided by the vast majority of the opinions given, 78 for, 01 against and 10 abstentions (i.e. 87.64%) to no longer take part in the regional championships (men&#8217;s and women) until this financial crisis is resolved.&#8221; This decision underscores the severity of the situation and the referees&#8217; determination to secure the wages they are owed.<\/p>\n<p>The letter concludes with a plea for the league to take appropriate measures and make the necessary sacrifices to ensure that regional match officials find serenity and honorable consideration.<\/p>\n<p>The referees have indicated their openness to negotiations, aiming to find a soothing solution to this unpleasant situation and to be considered fairly among those involved in football.<\/p>\n<p>The ongoing wage dispute between the regional referees and the LRFL has yet to elicit a response from the Regional league and the federation. This is not the first instance where referees have threatened to halt officiating due to unpaid wages.<\/p>\n<p>Despite several warnings issued in the past, no concrete actions have been taken to address the referees&#8217; concerns. The lack of response to these repeated calls for fair compensation has only intensified the current standoff, casting a shadow over the league&#8217;s commitment to its officials.<\/p>\n<p>The football community awaits a resolution that will respect the referees&#8217; vital role in the sport and ensure such issues are promptly and effectively addressed in the future.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Copyright\u00a92024 kick442.com-Cameroon<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>All rights reserved.
