The International Federation of Professional Football Associations complained about the fact that some players have not had the rest time they consider minimum.

The organization denounces that “at least 15 soccer players” participated in UEFA competitions without four weeks had passed since the end of the World Cup . FIFPro considers this a risk to their physical integrity and health.

The union denounces that the clubs impose their needs on the well-being of the players, which puts them under “too much pressure”.

Thus, the organization demands that FIFA establish an official and mandatory rest period of “at least four weeks” between the end of the season and the start of preparation for the next course.

Specifically, the FIFPro refers to the fact that the Russian World Cup ended on July 15 , the day on which the final was played.

Its closing phase coincided a few days with the first qualifying round for the Champions League, which started on July 10. Bearing this in mind, it is understood that last season and the next season overlapped for a while.
