SAFP has always been on the side of the players during the entire misery of the previous and current investors and has always supported and advised them in the best possible way. Even now in bankruptcy, we have immediately advised all players to show them the claims that now exist.

The players are the ones who suffer because they are neither financially supported nor protected by regulations at the association level. The bankruptcy of F.C. Chiasso 1905 is another sad episode in the list of bankruptcies of Swiss football clubs.

Unfortunately, the SVF does not have any protective measures for player wages at the Promotion League level. Regulations controlling the finances of the clubs in this league are also completely absent.

SAFP has already demanded adjustments by the Premier League to prevent such situations in the future. —
