The Fédération Internationale des Associations de Footballeurs Professionnels (<abbr title="translation">transl.</abbr> International Federation of Professional Footballers), generally referred to as FIFPRO, is the worldwide representative organisation for 65,000 professional <a href="Association_football" title="Association football">footballers</a>.<a href="#cite_note-FIFPRO_About-2">[2]</a> FIFPRO, with its global headquarters in <a href="Hoofddorp" title="Hoofddorp">Hoofddorp</a>, Netherlands, is made up of 66 national players' associations. In addition, there are four candidate members. <a href="Lionel_Messi" title="Lionel Messi">Lionel Messi</a> has the most ever appearances in the <a href="FIFPRO_World_11" title="FIFPRO World 11">FIFPRO World 11</a> with 17 overall, followed by <a href="Cristiano_Ronaldo" title="Cristiano Ronaldo">Cristiano Ronaldo</a> with 15.<a href="#cite_note-3">[3]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2></div>

On 15 December 1965, representatives of the French, Scottish, English, Italian and Dutch players' associations met in Paris, with the objective of setting up an international federation for footballers. In the second half of June 1966, the first FIFPRO congress took place in London, just before the start of the 1966 FIFA World Cup. The articles of association of FIFPRO were thereby adopted and the objectives accurately laid down. FIFPRO was responsible for increasing the solidarity between professional footballers and players' associations.

It was originally laid down that a congress would be held once every four years at a minimum. The latest congress was in Uruguay in October 2022.<a href="#cite_note-4">[4]</a>

FIFPRO has grown from a European organisation into a global network and has done much to support countries on other continents – Asia/Oceania, Africa, and North, Central and South America – in their efforts to set up players' associations.

FIFPRO tried to offer the players' associations or other interest associations the means for mutual consultation and co-operation to achieve their objectives. In addition, it wished to co-ordinate the activities of the different affiliated groups in order to promote the interests of all professional footballers. Indeed, FIFPRO likewise had in mind propagating and defending the rights of professional footballers. The emphasis was thereby laid on the freedom of the football player to be able to choose the club of his choice at the end of his contract. FIFPRO supported Belgian footballer <a href="Jean-Marc_Bosman" title="Jean-Marc Bosman">Jean-Marc Bosman</a> in his judicial challenge of the football transfer rules which led to the Bosman ruling in 1995.<a href="#cite_note-FIFPRO_YouTube-5">[5]</a>

In 2013, FIFPRO launched a legal challenge against the transfer system.<a href="#cite_note-FIFProOfficial-6">[6]</a><a href="#cite_note-FIFProTelegraph-7">[7]</a><a href="#cite_note-FIFProGuardian-8">[8]</a><a href="#cite_note-FIFProBBC-9">[9]</a> Phillipe Piat, the FIFPRO president at the time, said "the transfer system fails 99% of players around the world, it fails football as an industry and it fails the world's most beloved game". According to the President of FIFPRO Division Europe <a href="Bobby_Barnes" title="Bobby Barnes">Bobby Barnes</a>, 28% of the money from a transfer fee is paid to agents,<a href="#cite_note-FIFProTelegraph-7">[7]</a> and many players are not paid on time or at all.<a href="#cite_note-FIFProTelegraph-7">[7]</a><a href="#cite_note-FIFProGuardian-8">[8]</a> He claims this leads to these players being "vulnerable targets of crime syndicates, who instigate match-fixing and threaten the very existence of credible football competitions".<a href="#cite_note-FIFProOfficial-6">[6]</a> Writing for the <a href="BBC" title="BBC">BBC</a>, Matt Slater said "professional footballers do not enjoy the same freedoms that almost every other EU worker does",<a href="#cite_note-FIFProBBC-9">[9]</a> and that "players look at US sport, and wonder why their career prospects are still constrained by transfer fees and compensation costs".

In recent years, FIFPRO has established itself as a leading reference in the football industry through player surveys and research into concussion,<a href="#cite_note-10">[10]</a> mental health,<a href="#cite_note-FIFPRO_Website-11">[11]</a> social media abuse,<a href="#cite_note-FIFPRO_Abuse_Report-12">[12]</a> player workload monitoring,<a href="#cite_note-FIFPRO_Report-13">[13]</a> and more.

FIFPRO looks into securing a safe workspace for players, promoting their rights as ordinary workers. FIFPRO introduced new regulations to protect the rights of current and prospective mothers. These minimum conditions, agreed upon by FIFA and other governing bodies, offer women more job security and came into effect on 1 January 2021.<a href="#cite_note-14">[14]</a>

In the last five years, FIFPRO has repeatedly intervened to protect and enforce the rights of players to participate in an environment free from sexual misconduct, harassment, and abuse.<a href="#cite_note-FIFPRO_Supporting_Players-15">[15]</a> FIFPRO is a firm advocate of ensuring that all people, including players, should be guaranteed and protected by human rights. In 2021, FIFPRO played an active role in the group evacuation of women's footballers and athletes from Afghanistan.<a href="#cite_note-FIFPRO_Media_Statement-16">[16]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Current_board">Current board</h2></div>

FIFPRO’s member unions in June 2024 approved by an overwhelming majority governance recommendations to enhance the global representation of professional footballers following a review by management consultancy Oliver Wyman.<a href="#cite_note-17">[17]</a> An interim global board was elected, who will serve until November 2024 when a 12-person board will be elected at a General Assembly.<a href="#cite_note-18">[18]</a>

<ul><li>Interim Board: Magnus Erlingmark (Sweden), Kathryn Gill (Australia), Maheta Molango (England), Sergio Marchi (Argentina), Geremie Njitap (Cameroon), Stefano Sartori (Italy), Alejandro Sequeira (Costa Rica), David Terrier (France).</li>

<li>Secretary General: Stephane Burchkalter</li></ul>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Members">Members</h2></div>

Founded on 15 December 1965, FIFPRO has 66 full members and 4 candidate members.<a href="#cite_note-19">[19]</a><a href="#cite_note-20">[20]</a> Upon graduation to the next level, new members sign an affiliation agreement that promotes loyalty, integrity and fairness as well as principles of good governance, including open and transparent communications, democratic processes, checks and balances, solidarity and corporate social responsibility. Notably, two of the most preeminent nations in world football, <a href="Brazil" title="Brazil">Brazil</a> and <a href="Germany" title="Germany">Germany</a>, are not members of the FIFPRO.

The FIFPRO World 11 are the best men's and women's teams of the year. FIFPRO invites all professional men's and women's <a href="Association_football" title="Association football">footballers</a> to compose the teams. Initially known as the FIFPRO World 11, the award began in 2005 and celebrated the best football players as voted by their peers. In 2009, FIFPRO partnered with FIFA, rebranding it as the FIFA FIFPRO World 11 while retaining its original format. From the 2024 edition onward, FIFPRO will independently manage the award, reverting to its original name, the FIFPRO World 11.<a href="#cite_note-21">[21]</a>
