The statement comes at a crucial time.
After the international break, Lamine Yamal returned to Barcelona with an injury. This makes the joint statement from UEFA and FIFPRO about the need for compromise regarding fixture congestion even more relevant.
Details: UEFA president Aleksander Čeferin and FIFPRO Europe president David Terrier highlighted the need to balance club and international competitions, calling on UEFA, associations, leagues, clubs, and unions to collaborate.
Quote: “Everyone recognizes that the calendar has reached a critical point. We have a collective responsibility to act. Europe has all the tools and partners needed to create protocols that protect player welfare and support the growth of both club and national team football,” said Terrier.
Reminder: Previously, Barcelona and the Spanish Football Federation were involved in a dispute concerning Yamal’s injury, which occurred while he was on international duty.
