LAST FEW MONTHS<br />

IN A NUTSHELL<br />

It has been a productive couple of months at the MFPA. Some of our main<br />

projects these past months included;<br />

Ongoing assistance of players in disputes<br />

with their club at NDRC.<br />

MFPA has in the past months, assisted several<br />

players with varying degrees of disputes. In the<br />

vast majority of cases, players represented<br />

by MFPA officials, won the dispute and were<br />

effectively able to continue enjoying their<br />

football career.<br />

MFPA held regular discussions with European<br />

Stakeholders regarding the minimum<br />

requirements in Standard Contracts for<br />

professional players, as well as the player’s<br />

fundamental right to have access to the national<br />

courts. MFPA represented local players both in<br />

Brussels under the auspices of the European<br />

Union, as well as locally during a country visit<br />

by the European Professional Football Social<br />

Dialogue Taskforce.<br />

MFPA has also been actively following the<br />

precarious situation of proper medical facilities<br />

and services during training and matches, or<br />

lack thereof. Following numerous dangerous<br />

events which transpired, MFPA has mounted<br />

pressure on clubs and MFA to assume their<br />

responsabilities by ensuring these events<br />

never happen again. MFPA will continue working<br />

towards this aim until this crucial matter is<br />

satisfactorily resolved.<br />
