The Association of Contract Players (VVCS)

The Association of Contract Players (VVCS), a Dutch advocacy organisation for professional football players, has announced their support for the Justice for Players (JfP) Foundation class action lawsuit against KNVB, FIFA and several national football associations. Established in 1961 and affiliated with the Dutch Trade Union Federation (FNV), the VVCS has long advocated for the rights and welfare of professional footballers in the Netherlands.

UNFP joins the “Justice for Players” class action lawsuit

FIFPro Europe

Justice for Players welcomes FIFPro Europe’s statement commending our practical response to the CJEU’s Diarra Judgement, which gave the green light to this class action against FIFA.

Both of our organisations believe that effective centralised representation is in the best interest of professional footballers and it is this shared vision that is driving these legal proceedings.

We are committed to building on our relationship with FIFPro Europe and being a force for good that prioritises footballers’ welfare and the sustainable future of football.
