The Global Player Council (GPC) will reinforce the mandate of FIFPRO and its 65 affiliated national player associations to protect the interests of players around the world and safeguard their rights.
While national player associations are the key driver of the collective voice of footballers, adding an international council strengthens our capacity to address cross-border issues as globalization rapidly influences football.
The GPC will allow active players to comment on, discuss and influence global regulations, trends and the strategic development of football worldwide.
It will also provide the opportunity for council members to drive initiatives linked to player health and personal development, among other matters off the pitch.
