The European League of Football may be threatened with the next end of a team. Less than two weeks after the Leipzig Kings withdrew, the Prague Lions did not play.
After the Lions pros had spoken out against the trip to the game scheduled for Sunday at the Fehervar Enthroners, the league canceled the Czech encounter in Hungary. Prague’s owners and ELF leadership emphasized the desire for the Lions’ continued involvement in the league.
Possibly outstanding salary payments
The background should be outstanding salary payments. “Regrettably, the significant changes during the week in our staff and management have prevented us from traveling to Hungary and fulfilling our commitments”the Lions announced on the ELF homepage: “We take what is happening very seriously and are working tirelessly to get back on track and get back to playing for the rest of the season.”
Prague, which was only given an ELF place this season, has been a supplier of points so far this season. The only success in six matches so far resulted from the 35:0 score at the green table after the cancellation of the game in Leipzig due to the cancellation of the Kings.
Because of Leipzig King “funding gap” dropped out
Founding member Leipzig left in the middle of his third ELF season in the first half of July after several weeks of money problems. The Saxons admitted a “funding gap” of more than half a million euros. The Kings described the highest hurdle in view of “Basically positive talks with potential investors” but at the same time a lack of time to meet legal requirements and ELF deadlines. In principle, the Kings left the future of football in Leipzig open.
