Former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger will lead a FIFA task force on player welfare amid concerns over the football calendar.
Before this event, the EU’s top leagues and the players’ union Fifpro filed a criminal complaint against FIFA with the EU Commission for what they describe as an “abuse of dominance” by the system that governs international football. on the world match calendar.
The players’ union is part of the working group led by FIFA’s prominent leader in the world football structure, Wenger, together with representatives of FIFA member associations, the confederations, the EU Club Association and the Association of International Leagues.
“The objective of the working group is to examine how appropriate and effective safeguards can be implemented for players, also taking into account practical considerations from operational, medical, regulatory and legal perspectives,” FIFA mentioned in a comment.
It will then “make recommendations based on the latest scientific research on the subject of players’ physical and mental well-being.”
The crowd is set to gather in the coming weeks.
An already busy EU football calendar has become even more congested due to the expanded International Club Cup, which will be held in the US from June 15 to the nearest July 13.
Spain and Manchester Town midfielder Rodri recently said that players are about to suffer a collision in protest at the build-up of games.
