FIFPRO is the global representative organisation for professional footballers, bringing together national player unions to support players around the world. As a trade union, it works to defend players’ rights, improve their welfare and working conditions, and ensure their voices are heard by governing bodies, leagues and other stakeholders. Its work spans collective bargaining, contract guidance and legal representation, alongside research and advocacy on issues affecting footballers’ careers and daily lives.

FIFPRO and its member unions provide guidance and support on health and performance, including concussion management, mental health, heart health and workload monitoring. They also address workplace safety, discrimination, inclusion, social media abuse and match-fixing, and promote protections related to maternity and postpartum football. Development initiatives help players build skills and prepare for life beyond the pitch. Through collaboration with unions and other organisations, FIFPRO advances player-led change across the game. Its website offers information on these programmes, news from player unions, resources for footballers and tools to find a national union.
