Kwekwe United needs $40,000 monthly for top football league costs. Club leaders said sorry on Thursday after missing their game against Herentals when players struck over missing pay. The league called them to explain their absence at a hearing. Team founder Phil Makekera expressed regret at a news conference. His club struggles with money problems since moving up to the Castle Lager Premier Soccer League.
Club chairman Francis Tayagadza promised fans this problem would not happen again. Players went on strike because they missed one month of wages. Officials denied turning down any sponsor offers. Makekera pays most team bills himself. Former national coach Benedict Moyo said managers work to fix the payment issues.
The club needs between $35,000 and $40,000 each month to run properly. These costs cover player salaries, travel expenses, and match fees. Team leaders asked local businesses for help. They want more community support to keep the club going. Kwekwe United hopes to rebuild trust with players and supporters after this incident.
