Football needs to improve its financial security
Through reviewing the structural, regulatory and business models, FIFPRO supports further scrutiny and analysis of football's economic health so that players can work in a secure industry.

FIFPRO supports its members who work together to improve the employment conditions. Players should be involved in the decision-making process about changes that affect their careers. The football labour market is in a supply and demand economy, where supply far outstrips demand, which drives down wages. This situation is even worse in women’s football.
