FIFPro secretary general Theo van Seggelen attended the second meeting of the FIFA Task Force Football 2014. Several issues that were high on the agenda of FIFPro’s Technical Committee were discussed.

Theo van Seggelen, FIFPro’s secretary general is one of the 22 members of the FIFA Task Force Football 2014, a working group established to discuss proposals to improve the game of football.

Is it responsible to play football at temperatures of below minus 15°C? FIFPro asked itself this question after Russian clubs recently had to play in European competitions during the ice-cold winter.

FIFPro believes that the 2022 World Cup in Qatar should be held in winter instead of summer. The world players’ union is therefore pleased about FIFA’s willingness to consider this change.

FIFPro’s Technical Committee once again showed itself to be an advocate of goal-line technology during its recent meeting in Madrid. 'It is about the credibility of football.’
