FIFPRO, the world’s leading player union, was not invited to a meeting that FIFA President Giannantino held on Saturday on “Key Issues on Player Health”. Independent He understands
It is understandable that the meeting even included National Union officials whose organizations were fired from FIFPRO or lost their position in the group after democratic processes.
A press statement from the ruling delegation spoke with player groups, including “important topics related to the international contest calendar”. It has disrupted a previously packaged football program in the back of the World Cup and has led to a legal FIFPRO legal action on how “unilateral” is imposing “competition in the game without consulting stakeholders.
The heat of the midnight in the United States has been another issue for the welfare of the player in the tournament, which led to the FIFPRO meeting with FIFA. The Fifer Secretary -General Alex Phillips made his body “somewhat happy because FIFA was fully accountable after the tournament” but “it would have been better if that happened before.”
FIFA has since gone with a key meeting that even calls for “the creation of open, global representatives and consultants of the FIFA Panel”-led by Infantino on the eve of the World Cup final between Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain-although known as the main player’s body.
No FIFPRO representatives were present and it is understood that they did not receive the invitation. This is the representation of 65,000 professional players worldwide.
“While the recent World Cup has created enthusiasm among many fans and allowed some of the world’s leading figures to be seen in a single tournament, FIFPRO cannot be clearly unable to point out that the competition is realistic that most footballers are experienced around the world,” the Fifer said in a statement.
“What was presented as a World Football Celebration was nothing more than a story created by FIFA, promoted by the president, without dialogue, sensitivity and respect for those who maintain the game with their daily efforts. A great and great scene reminiscent of” bread and circus “from Rome, and entertainment for many people.
“At FIFPRO, we have warned of FIFA’s high -profile program, physical and mental rest for players and lack of talk. This way of organizing the competitions, without listening to the federation, which represents the world’s professional footballers’ associations, is one -sided, authoritarian, and we can only use our economic logic.
Football stakeholders have privately described the event as “charade” and “very incomplete”, which appears to be in the first place.
Close to FIFA for comment.
“There is a consensus that there should be at least 72 hours of rest between the tournament and players must have at least 21 days of rest at the end of each season,” said a press release from the World Board.
“One day of rest a week should also be planned, while practically governed,” the statement said. A will was also expressed to establish a balance between national football and club football.
