The cash-strapped Egyptian Football Association is reducing the salaries of all of its employees and considering a salary cap for players.

EFA says on Tuesday it will pay employees a maximum of 15 thousand pounds ($24,500) and a minimum of 1,500 pounds.

The association says it will also consult with clubs about implementing a salary cap for players to eliminate what it calls an ''exaggeration'' in player wages.
