Bosso players boycott training session

Tensions at Highlanders FC escalated on Wednesday morning after players reported for training but refused to take part in the session, intensifying pressure on the club over unpaid salaries.

The latest development marks a new phase in the ongoing wage dispute, with the squad staging a silent protest by turning up at the training ground but deliberately sitting out the session. No meaningful activity took place as frustration over outstanding payments spilled into the open.

Sources indicate that players, members of the technical team and administrative staff are owed two months’ salaries, a situation that continues to unsettle the Bosso camp at a crucial stage of the season.

The standoff follows earlier actions by players who had downed tools entirely in protest, highlighting the deepening financial strain facing one of Zimbabwe’s most storied football institutions.

While club officials are yet to issue a formal response, the continued impasse raises concerns over team morale, performance and the broader financial sustainability of the club if the crisis remains unresolved.
