Federation Internationale de Football Association Receives Strike Warning

FIFA receives ‘strike warning’… Players Association protests against ‘harsh schedule’

PFA and FIFpro take a direct hit at FIFA, which planned a ‘32-team system’ Club World Cup

The Federation Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), which oversees soccer administration around the world, received a 'warning' from the players' association that it could face a strike.

This is because soccer players, including players, are forced to have a schedule with no time to rest. 카지노사이트위키

According to the BBC on the 30th (local time), Maheta Molango, president of the Professional Footballers' Association (PFA) of England, said at a recently held meeting of the International Football Players' Association (FIFpro), "It was only 10 days ago that I was affected (by the schedule issue).

“I went to the locker room,” he said, introducing an anecdote of his recent experience.

President Molango said, "I asked, 'It's a pleasure (for me) to come here and shout (about players' rights), but in the end, it's up to you.

How far do you want to go?'"

He added, "Some people said, 'I can't stand it.'" I will.

He said, 'It would be better to go on strike.'"

He continued, "Some others (in the locker room) said, 'What's the use? I'm a millionaire, but I don't have time to spend money.'

He was not a member of the players' association.

“They were Jurgen Klopp (Liverpool) and Pep Guardiola (Manchester City),” he said.

He then hinted at the possibility of an unusual player strike, saying, “We have reached a point where no action can be ruled out.”

The PFA, led by President Molango, has criticized major international organizations such as FIFA and UEFA for increasing the risk of injury and physical burden on players as they expand the scale of various competitions.

In this context, FIFpro also declared that it would take legal action if FIFA sticks to its existing policy.

FIFA plans to significantly increase the scale of the Club World Cup, where clubs from all over the world compete, from 2025.

Every year, the champions of club competitions from six continents and the league winners of the host country gather together to determine the world's best professional soccer team, but starting in 2025, 32 teams will participate, just like the previous World Cup.

The cycle also changes to 4 years.

FIFpro strongly opposed FIFA's announcement from the time of FIFA's announcement, saying that although this was a major change that affected the player's health and performance, there was no separate discussion with the player.

FIFpro is said to have sent a letter to FIFA President Gianni Infantino arguing that in order to significantly expand some competitions, the schedule of other competitions must be adjusted.

The BBC reported that FIFpro's position is that forcing players and national leagues to adapt to the new format of international competition is essentially 'abuse'.

The BBC cited Jude Bellingham, a key midfielder for Real Madrid and the England national team, as an example of the increased physical burden on players.

Bellingham, who was born in 2003 and is 20 years old, has already recorded a total of 18,486 minutes of playing time.

This significantly exceeds the records of David Beckham (3,929 minutes) and Frank Lampard (6,987 minutes) at the same age.

Not only Bellingham, but also Korean soccer star Son Heung-min is under considerable physical strain.

Born in 1992, Son Heung-min has played a total of 568 official games, going back and forth between his team and the national team, including 443 professional games and 125 A matches.

He has played far more games than his seniors who have already retired, such as Park Ji-sung (418 games) and Lee Young-pyo (467 games).
