Mr. Al-Kuwari added that lack of government support is not a sufficient reason for the clubs to delay the players\u2019 payments.

In addition, Mr. Al-Kuwari expressed Qatar Players Association full support of Algharafa\u2019s players and indicated that the State of Qatar has amended its labour laws to ensure that employees are paid on time. Therefore, Mr. Al-Kuwari urged the clubs to comply with the State laws because the players are employees as per the definition of the law.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Al-Kuwari concluded his statement by indicating that QPA\u2019s President, Mr. Salman A.
