After Pham Huu Phat and 5 other players were arrested, Dong Nai faced many storms. |
Dong Nai Club is facing many incidents after 6 players were arrested. On July 23, Dong Nai Province leaders held a meeting with the entire team and requested clarification of the recent incident. In addition, Dong Nai Province also requested the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of the province and Dong Nai Club to review and seriously learn from their experiences.
Up to this point, the Dong Nai team's leadership has still committed to continuing to compete in the 2014 V-League. However, this team has been greatly affected by its sponsor. According to research, on the morning of July 24, Truong Hai Company decided to cut off the sponsorship of 3 billion VND for Dong Nai team.
In Dong Nai, they have many sponsors and this "milk source" has helped the team perform well throughout the past year. Dong Nai team is even a very rare case in V-League to receive a signing bonus right after signing a contract and the salary and bonus are rarely slow to be disbursed to the players.
However, the current funding cut will greatly affect the team's operations.
