About FIFPro

FIFPro is the worldwide representative organisation for all professional footballers with more than sixty-five thousand (65,000) members in total, both male and female. Currently sixty (60) national players’ associations are member of FIFPro. Several candidate members and observers hope to join the association in the near future.

FIFPro’s mission is to support football players. Many activities involve assisting footballers throughout their active career. Next to that, FIFPro has always stressed the importance of education and has encouraged players to study for suitable qualifications to develop their career prospects, both within and outside of the game.
FIFPro knows that it can be challenging for professional footballers to study, due to irregular hours spent on training, travelling and playing or even moving to a new club whether local or abroad. For these players, long-distance or online learning could be a perfect solution. Players can simply login at any given moment, and can even continue their study after moving to a new club.

FIFPro is delighted to partner with the University of Nicosia, Cyprus, which allows professional footballers around the world to develop themselves past their playing career.
