PHNOM PENH - The foreign legion of African players from three Cambodian Premier League clubs have voiced their anger over club managements not meeting their contractual obligations. Some of the players are not happy with their treatment by the clubs, with many complaining of unacceptable delays in payment of wages and arranging visas. Cambodian Football Federation deputy secretary and technical director May Tola stated that players have the right to bring their cases to the federation for arbitration. "If any player is not happy with the management for failing to abide by the contractual agreement, such player should present the matter to the federation and we will look into it by inviting both parties," he said Tuesday.

PHNOM PENH - Today's double-header of CPL games at Olympic Stadium should provide a shake-up in the league table, with all four teams vying for second place. At 2pm, Kirivong Sok Sen Chey - who currently occupy the runner-up spot - take on reigning champions Phnom Penh Crown in what should be a top showcase of talent. Crown can draw level with Kirivong on points with a win and will leapfrog the Takeo-based team if they can net more than two in difference. On the other hand, Kirivong can reduce the gap to 3 points on league leaders Preah Khan Reach with a victory. At 4pm, Khemara Keila face Naga Corp in what should be a closely fought contest. Either team could find themselves in second place entering the last round before the mid-season break providing they win and Kirivong lose.
