Coronavirus: Footballers In Hungary Forced To Take Pay Cuts
The cabinet has decreed that professional sports clubs may unilaterally reduce the salaries of athletes and staff by up to 70%.

Any such salary reduction will remain in force until the cessation of the state of emergency, after which the salary set in the original contract must be restored.

So far clubs have been bargaining over the reduction of salaries with their players and staff.
