2020 Warriors FC season
# 2020 Warriors FC season

Warriors FC sat out the 2020 Singapore Premier League season due to financial and legal troubles.

In November 2019, they were charged on court with 107 counts of not paying their staff salaries. In total, they failed to pay more than S$350,000 in salaries to about 30 employees, including players, sports trainers and support staff.

2 days after the incident being reported, ST reported that there were 2 parties that were interested to take over Warriors FC.

On 2 December 2019, the club's management committee said they had paid a total of S$150,000 in salaries to half of its football squad to settle arrears.

On 31 December 2019, FAS had instructed Warriors FC to sit out the 2020 Singapore Premier League season due to their financial issue and legal troubles.
