Thirteen clubs from the Premier League’s third and fourth groups announced they will not participate in the fourth round if they do not receive appropriate financial support.
The Al-Tahadi Club hosted a meeting of the clubs demanding financial support, represented by 13 clubs from the Eastern Region Premier League: Al-Tahadi, Al-Ittihad Al-Askari, Al-Sadaka, Darnes, Al-Hilal, Al-Burooq, along with Al-Suqoor, Khalij Sirt, Al-Muruj, Al-Afriqi, Al-Wefaq Ajdabiya, Al-Andalus, and Al-Anwar.
The meeting focused on preparing an official appeal to the authorities to emphasize the necessity of supporting the clubs and providing them with the necessary aid.
