These leaders are truly responsible for the current situation, as they have repeatedly and systematically refused to introduce the necessary reforms to modernize our football.

3) We are considering the implementation of a reform that is important which prioritizes the main asset that football has, which is none other than the footballers, so that they can develop their profession in a dignified environment and with fair working conditions.

For all of the above we reiterate our support for Mutual and our colleagues. You are not alone in this fight. “Up Uruguay!”
