Player IQ: What to Know
The international match calendar, competition reforms and travel demands, among other aspects of a player's professional life, can have a damaging effect on health, wellbeing and career prospects. FIFPRO monitors the workload of footballers through the FIFPRO Player Workload Monitoring (PWM) platform.
FIFPRO is the only organisation that regularly carries out global research into the daily lives of men's and women's professional footballers, tracking everything from salaries and vacation time to mental health and cartilage damage.
