A streamlined board
In June 2024 FIFPRO member unions approved by an overwhelming majority governance recommendations to enhance the global representation of professional footballers following a review by management consultancy Oliver Wyman.
Among the recommendations approved were the strengthening of FIFPRO’s executive management team, reducing the size of the 18-person global board to 12 persons, and introducing a maximum of three term limits for global board members.
