Gimnasia Players Halt Training Over Unpaid Wages Days Before Semifinal vs. Estudiantes

Players cite up to four months of unpaid wages after assurances from newly elected president Carlos Anacleto produced no concrete payments.

Overview

  • The first team refused to train on Thursday, Dec. 4, announcing the measure in an official statement.
  • Several players say they have not been paid since July, with arrears reaching four months and affecting their families and professional obligations.
  • The work stoppage comes just days before Monday’s clásico semifinal against Estudiantes in the Torneo Clausura.
  • The squad says it resumed activity a month ago based on a promise to settle part of the debt, reports no concrete progress, and emphasizes unity and openness to dialogue.
  • New president Carlos Anacleto said the board still lacked banking access to make payments and indicated they aimed to resolve the issue on Friday, according to Los Andes.
