The Football Professional League, which is comprised of nine of the 10 clubs in the top division, will decide at a meeting of club presidents on Friday whether to resume the championship.

The FPL has asked the government to exclude players from income tax for up to 10 years, increasing the period from two years. It also wants to lower the value added tax for all soccer economic activities from 20% to 6%, cancel the not-paid fiscal obligations and draft a new law on sponsorship.

Fidel Ylli, a left-wing Socialist lawmaker representing the government in the talks with the FPL, has said the Cabinet fully understands the requests but doesn't negotiate under pressure.

Rama openly criticized club owners who want to "discharge in their clubs the financial obligations they owe to the state for the other business activities." (AP)
