Following a comprehensive governance review, which was approved by an overwhelming majority of member members, FIFPRO has made significant changes to the composition of its board.
The number of board members has been reduced from 18 to 12 in order to streamline decision-making processes and enhance the organisation’s efficiency.
An interim board is now serving until the FIFPRO General Assembly elects a new board and President in November. This interim board consists of individuals with diverse backgrounds and extensive experience in the football industry, ensuring FIFPRO continues to represent and advocate for the interests of professional footballers worldwide.

Interim General Secretary Stephane Burchkalter said: "We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to the previous board, not only for their exceptional dedication and achievements in advancing the rights and welfare of players around the world, but also taking an active and positive role during the recent governance review.

We are dedicated to upholding the standards of excellence and advocacy that have defined our organisation, ensuring that the voices of professional footballers continue to be heard and respected globally."
