FIFA, the global governing body of football, is committed to promoting a safe and secure environment for everyone involved in the sport through its FIFA Guardians Safeguarding in Football initiative. This educational program aims to eliminate harassment and abuse in football, ensuring that players, especially children and women, can enjoy the game without fear. Under the leadership of FIFA President Gianni Infantino, the program encompasses expert-led courses designed for two main groups: Nominated FIFA Learners, who are appointed safeguarding officers, and Global Football Community Learners, which includes anyone involved in football, from coaches to referees.

Participants in the program are offered comprehensive training, including 70 hours of online learning, webinars, and workshops, culminating in recognized qualifications that highlight their commitment to safeguarding. By engaging with this initiative, FIFA seeks to foster a culture of respect and well-being within the global football community, ultimately empowering every individual to enjoy the beautiful game in a supportive atmosphere.
