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.

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 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 [[Jean-Marc Bosman]] in his judicial challenge of the football transfer rules which led to the Bosman ruling in 1995.<ref name="FIFPRO YouTube">{{cite news |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XsOaC6QUJ-o |title=FIFPRO Gallery:Jean-Marc Bosman |publisher=FIFPRO |date=27 June 2022 |access-date=27 June 2022}}</ref>

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 [[Association football|footballers]] 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.<ref>{{Cite web |date=23 October 2024 |title=Save the date: FIFPRO World 11 to be revealed on 9 December 2024 |url=https://fifpro.org/en/supporting-players/player-influence/world11/save-the-date-fifpro-world-11-to-be-revealed-on-9-december-2024 |url-status=live |website=fifpro.org}}</ref>

FIFPRO invites all professional men's and women's [[Association football|footballers]] to compose the best men's and women's teams of the year, named the FIFPRO World 11 (also known as the FIFPRO World XI). In 2009, the world players' union joined hands with [[FIFA]]. While the format remained the same, the award name changed to the '''FIFA FIFPRO World 11'''.

Every year, FIFPRO and approximately 70 affiliated players unions distribute unique links that give players from all professional football clubs on the planet access to the digital voting platform. An initial 23-person squad then reveals the nominees. The goalkeeper, as well as the three defenders, three midfielders and three forwards who receive the most votes are then selected for the World 11. The remaining spot is assigned to the outfield player with the next highest number of votes who is not selected already. The 11-person FIFA FIFPRO World 11 is revealed at [[The Best FIFA Football Awards]] (formerly the [[FIFA Ballon d'Or]]).<ref name="FIFPRO Rules">{{cite web |date=24 November 2014 |title=THE WORLD XI: FOR THE PLAYERS, BY THE PLAYERS |url=http://www.fifpro.org/en/news/the-world-xi-for-the-players-by-the-players |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160629223345/https://www.fifpro.org/en/news/the-world-xi-for-the-players-by-the-players |archive-date=29 June 2016 |access-date=31 July 2015 |publisher=FIFpro}}</ref>

From 2005 until 2008, FIFPRO also asked footballers to choose the FIFPRO World Player of the Year. From 2009 on, the election for FIFPRO Player of the Year merged with the FIFA World Player of the Year, and in 2010 combined with ''[[France Football]]'s'' [[Ballon d'Or]] into one award, the FIFA Ballon d'Or.<ref name="FIFA Form">{{cite web |title=The FIFA Ballon d'Or is born |url=https://www.fifa.com/ballondor/archive/edition=1999902010/news/newsid=1268497/index.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121222031005/http://www.fifa.com/ballondor/archive/edition=1999902010/news/newsid=1268497/index.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=December 22, 2012 |work=FIFA.com |publisher=Fédération Internationale de Football Association |date=5 July 2010 |access-date=30 July 2015}}</ref>

The Fédération Internationale des Associations de Footballeurs Professionnels (transl. International Federation of Professional Footballers), generally referred to as FIFPRO, is the worldwide representative organisation for 65,000 professional footballers.[2] FIFPRO, with its global headquarters in Hoofddorp, Netherlands, is made up of 66 national players' associations. In addition, there are four candidate members. Lionel Messi has the most ever appearances in the FIFPRO World 11 with 17 overall, followed by Cristiano Ronaldo with 15.[3]

History

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.[4]

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 Jean-Marc Bosman in his judicial challenge of the football transfer rules which led to the Bosman ruling in 1995.[5]

In 2013, FIFPRO launched a legal challenge against the transfer system.[6][7][8][9] 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 Bobby Barnes, 28% of the money from a transfer fee is paid to agents,[7] and many players are not paid on time or at all.[7][8] 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".[6] Writing for the BBC, Matt Slater said "professional footballers do not enjoy the same freedoms that almost every other EU worker does",[9] 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,[10] mental health,[11] social media abuse,[12] player workload monitoring,[13] 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.[14]

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.[15] 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.[16]

Current board

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.[17] An interim global board was elected, who will serve until November 2024 when a 12-person board will be elected at a General Assembly.[18]

  • 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).
  • Secretary General: Stephane Burchkalter

Members

Founded on 15 December 1965, FIFPRO has 66 full members and 4 candidate members.[19][20] 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, Brazil and Germany, are not members of the FIFPRO.

FIFPRO World 11

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 footballers 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.[21]

Social impact awards

FIFPRO Merit Awards

In 2008 FIFPRO established its Merit Award, to recognise professional footballers who have made a significant contribution to a charitable cause and are socially engaged. It honours players who use their platform to take action to improve the lives of people in need.[28] The award is worth US$25,000 (as of 2018).[29] Winners of the FIPRO Merit Award include:[30]

  • 2008 – Ibrahim Kargbo (Sierra Leone), ambassador of the Care Foundation in Sierra Leone
  • 2009 – Shabani Nonda (DR Congo), for his foundation that organised annual football tournaments for 350 poor children in Kinshasa, and for his payment of school supplies and school fees, and for organising a Match for Peace (featuring other DR Congo players) to raise funds for victims of violence
  • 2010 – Steven Bryce and Reynaldo Parks (Costa Rica), for their project to help children and young people in deprived neighbourhoods
  • 2011 – Peres Center for Peace (Israel), for its Twinned Peace Sport Schools project, which annually engages thousands of children from Israel and the Palestinian Authority, and promotes peace between Israelis and Palestinians
  • 2012 – Japan Pro-Footballers Association (JPFA[31]), for their charity work for the victims of the 2011 Japanese tsunami
  • 2013 – Stiliyan Petrov (Bulgaria), for his leukaemia foundation
  • 2014 – Héctor Santibanez, for a football school for children with Down syndrome

  • 2019 – Johanna Omolo (Kenya), for his foundation that supplies poor children with essentials in Dandora, Kenya

In 2020 the format changed, and four awards were given:[32]

  • Player Activism: a player who advocates for a cause to bring about political or social change
  • Player Impact: a player who acts to create a positive impact in others' lives
  • Player Voice: players who use their platform to raise their voice (and sometimes others) to create awareness or help bring about change with regard to an issue within the football industry
  • FIFPRO Hero: a player who has done something extraordinary and special, needing acknowledgement by FIFPRO.
2020

In 2022, FIFPRO introduced the Union Impact Award, to recognise outstanding work done by unions on the ground to support players.[28]
