FIFPro strongly urges FIFA and UEFA to take a stand regarding the physical abuse on Spartak Gogniev and the Russian Football Federation ruling. FIFPro will show FIFA and UEFA a video with footage of the attack on the player.

‘Now that we have seen this video, we are totally baffled’, says FIFPro Division Europe president Philippe Piat after having seen the images of the ill-treatment of Spartak Gogniev, a footballer of Russian club FC Krasnodar.

One day to go before FIFPro reveals the 55 players on the shortlist for the 2011 FIFA FIFPro World XI. Currently, FIFPro is counting the latest votes that arrived in the last few days. Votes from all over the World.

More students than expected started the FIFPro Online Academy, a cooperation of FIFPro union with the University College of Northern Denmark (UCN). Twelve European footballers’ associations have joined this project.

The Peres Center For Peace in Israel is the winner of the 2011 FIFPro Merit Award. The world professional footballers’ union awarded this prize to the Israeli charity for its Twinned Peace Sport Schools project.
