Football: FAS instructs Warriors FC to sit out 2020 SPL season, as club asks for urgent meeting

with the Straits Times where he mentioned that the club had"rejected" the decision by the association.

"It is sad the FAS has not engaged us in this matter and heard us out before it reached this decision, and we hope to hear from the FAS soonest over this decision to have Warriors sit out the 2020 season."In its response to media queries, the FAS confirmed that it had written to the club, instructing it to sit out of the SPL and Singapore Cup for the next season.“The decision to instruct WRFC to sit out the upcoming season was made in the best interests of the club,” said the FAS.

“At present, WRFC remains liable for a significant amount of debt owed to employees/players and social/tax authorities. These outstanding liabilities have also been the subject of court proceedings against WRFC. This situation has persisted for some time, and the amounts remain substantial. There might be further debts to which FAS may not be privy to.

During the sit-out period, Warriors should focus efforts to consolidate its resources and not incur any additional liabilities without the assurances of new revenue streams, added the FAS.
