Both during and after a career in professional football, players are likely to struggle with their health. Therefore, FIFPRO starts with a unique health surveillance programme in order to monitor the health (mental, joints, brain, heart) of male and female professional footballers over their pre- and post-retirement years (in total 10 years).
You can find further information about FIFPRO health surveillance programme in the following video:
“We investigate the short- and long-term impact of professional football on player health so we can protect them and improve regulations”
— by Dr. Vincent Gouttebarge, FIFPRO Chief Medical Officer
