Arsène Wenger to Lead FIFA Task Force on Player Welfare

FIFA forms a new task force amid rising concerns over player welfare due to congested match schedules.

FIFA has announced the formation of a task force led by Arsène Wenger to address player welfare concerns.
The initiative follows a formal complaint to EU regulators by FIFPRO and other leagues over 'calendar abuse.'
The task force will consider operational, medical, regulatory, and legal perspectives to improve player conditions.
Recommendations will be informed by the latest scientific research on players' physical and mental health.
FIFA faces increasing legal pressure to engage stakeholders, including players' unions and national federations.
