The newly issued circular, distributed by the federation’s general secretariat, dictates strict financial baselines designed to upgrade professional working conditions, protect player welfare, and enforce financial transparency across the domestic football ecosystem. Clubs that fail to strictly comply with these updated payroll baselines will face licensing bans and administrative sanctions ahead of the domestic kickoff.
