Coronavirus: Oparanozie, Traore and Yango agree 16 per cent pay cut with Guingamp

Nigeria's Desire Oparanozie, Cameroon's Jeannette Yango and Mali's Aissata Traore agreed to take a 16 per cent pay cut to ease Guingamp's financial burden amid the coronavirus crisis.

The sporting world has found themselves thrust under the spotlight during a global health crisis with calls for players in most countries to join the fight and forgo some of their sizeable salaries.

Oparanozie confirmed the development to HipTV on Monday, noting the new directive will start in the month of April until the Rwanda top-flight resumes after the Covid-19 pandemic is contained.
