The best players are afraid to speak against playing many matches for fear of influence they may have on their careers, said the secretary general of the Global player Fifpro players.

Alex Phillips was talking after Fifpro held a meeting in Amsterdam with 58 unions of national players from all over the world to discuss concerns about how the world’s leading body FIFA is administering global football.

The meeting came less than two weeks after the end of the first club of the first club club with 32 teams in the United States, a tour of great success by FIFA President Gianni Infantino but criticized by Fifpro for the demands he has already set up players with a crowded schedule.

“Before the World Cup of the Club, I was talking to some of the best stars and they were saying they had not stopped for the time ‘x’“Said Phillips.

“One of them even said, “I will only rest when I get hurt.” Others were actually resigned, and cynical to talk up.

“Then you see some of the same players two weeks later that they need to record videos on social media saying ‘We think the World Cup is great’ because their employers tell them to do it.

“You have this contradictory situation where players cannot speak. They are in an obnoxious position. They can speak, but there can be consequences.“

Fifpro said FIFA’s latest concentration in the club’s World Cup in the United States was an example of the body, ignoring many fundamentally important issues that players face around the world.

“It is unacceptable to an organization claiming that the global leadership will turn a blind eye to the basic needs of players,“Fifpro said in a statement, especially citing the” overloaded “match calendar, heat concerns in the club’s World Cup and a”Continuous disrespect of player social rights“

Fifpro Europe filed a complaint to the European Commission last year accusing FIFA of abusing its position regarding its treatment of the international match calendar.

The summit organized by the Union on Friday came after being left out of a meeting held by FIFA on the eve of the last final of the club’s World Cup.

Sergio MarchiFifpro’s Argentine president this week struck Infantino’s leadership for FIFA and accused him of running a “autocracy” in an interview with The Athletic.

FIFA was hit again in Fifpro in a statement on Friday as he called for dialogue “With legitimate troops that place the welfare of players first“And he said he had tasted unsuccessfully to get the union to attend his New York meeting on July 12.

“FIFA is extremely disappointed by the increasingly divisive and contradictory tone approved by Fifpro leadership“Said the organization based in Zurich.

“This approach clearly shows that instead of being included in constructive dialogue, Fifpro has chosen to follow a path of public confrontation, “which aims to preserve” their personal positions and interests“
