Banner From Hyderabad FC Staff Demanding Salary During ISL Match Against FC Goa Removed By Security, Video Viral
ISL 2023-24: Hyderabad FC's horrific run in the league continues and it now seems like they have invited themselves some off-the-field trouble.
It is not a good time to be a Hyderabad FC (HFC) fan in the Indian Super League (ISL). Not only are the team having a horrific run in the Indian Super League (ISL) succumbing to a 0-2 defeat against Goa FC on Thursday (February 1), it attracted plenty of eyeballs for the wrong reasons as the staff members of their Nizams raised their concern over non-payment of their salaries during the match.
In a rare instance on a football ground, Hyderabad FC staff were seen with a banner which simply read: "‘Salary Please!". However, as a viral clip has captured, security officials not quickly asked them to remove the banner. The video though has surfaced on social media and gone viral.
Take a look at the viral video here:

I don't know what's a bigger mistake, not paying the staff or raising a banner asking for salary.
