Players of the Kyokushinkai national team decided to stop sports training because of not paying their financial dues for more than seven months.
"We had previously asked the Ministry of Youth and Sports to disburse our financial dues, so the players decided to stop their training in protest of the current situation," national team player Mustafa Muhammad Wahib said in a statement to the Iraqi News Agency.
Waheeb added, "We renew our request to the Minister of Youth and Sports Adnan Darjal to pay the players' financial dues, and to resolve the crisis quickly, as the team is heading to the Arab Championship that will be held in Kuwait next February."
