Philippe Piat, president of the French footballers’ association UNFP and vice-president of FIFPro, speaks in French daily Le Monde about the situation of Peguy Luyindula, a player who is persona non grata at his club Paris Saint-Germain.

FIFPro is looking forward to the upcoming meeting of the Professional Football Strategy Council, where it hopes to reach a final agreement on the Minimum Requirements for Standard Player Contracts.

FIFPro has always led the social dialogue. The agreement soon to be signed, is the fruit of a collective labour and has opened the way to social harmony. Would it have been so without the goal-scoring talent of Michel Platini?

FIFPro Division Europe will send a five-men delegation to the upcoming meeting of the Professional Football Strategy Council in Monaco on August 26th.

ECA, EPFL, UEFA and FIFPro agreed to establish a working group that will investigate the status of career funds on national level and the possible establishment of an international career fund for professional footballers.
