“The purpose of this Global Policy Compass is to give a player-centric overview of the protections, needs, obligations, institutions, and external factors that all influence how a player’s career develops in the football industry,” said Sarah Gregorius, FIFPRO’s Advisor Global Policy & Strategic Relations, and one of the main drivers behind the creation of this document.
The Compass covers all areas of a player’s career, from beginning to end, as it includes issues such as pay, contracts, justice, health and safety and personal development. The Compass will be revised regularly to best reflect the dynamic nature of the industry and players’ working environment.
“It will be your guide to the work FIFPRO has done to date and the work that is going on to further enhance player protections and opportunities,” Gregorius said. “This document raises awareness of the issues facing players in their work today, and helps build an understanding of the varied work that we, as player representatives and unions, are doing to improve footballers’ working conditions every day.”
The Policy Compass is available for all FIFPRO Member Unions via its Member Platform.
