El Nacional virtually relegated amid 4-5 months unpaid wages

El Nacional sit 18 points behind Cumbayá in the relegation hexagonal and are virtually relegated to Segunda Categoría after losing 1-0 to Deportivo Santo Domingo on 18 September. Interventor Juan Manuel Aguirre revealed a deficit near $12 million and that players have gone four to five months without pay.

What it means

• Players unpaid for 4-5 months; administrative staff owed about 8 months
• Club deficit close to $12 million, per interventor Juan Manuel Aguirre
• Only 12 points, 18 behind Cumbayá with a -19 goal difference

Model read

A financially broken, unpaid squad with nothing left to play for is a major negative for El Nacional's remaining fixtures — motivation and stability are severely compromised, so opponents are notably favoured.
