Ponte Preta players threaten strike over unpaid salaries amid relegation

Ponte Preta's players in Brazil's Série B have threatened to strike due to six months of unpaid salaries. The threat came prior to a recent 6-0 defeat to Vila Nova, leaving Ponte at the bottom of the table with ten points after 23 matches, effectively facing relegation. Players stated that without a resolution by August 25, they would stop playing until salaries are paid. The club's financial crisis has persisted, prompting discussions about a potential transformation into a Football Corporation, supported by a R$1 billion investment proposal to address their debts and improve operations.
