What you should know
Football has the power to make change for the better
As a global industry it speaks to people on a universal level, and players who want to utilise this platform to raise awareness around a particular cause should feel empowered to do so.
FIFPRO supports free speech and social justice
Players who are dedicating their time, energy or money into creating a better world are strongly encouraged by FIFPRO, who will stand with them in solidarity.
It takes courage to stand up for what you believe in
Very few footballers would label themselves as social activists, or indeed realise the weight that their opinions can hold in society. We should encourage players to make use of their unique position to have their voices heard, and help them drive towards positive change.
