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.
