Maheta Molango, the CEO of the Professional Footballers’ Association, feels that players are currently at their breaking point.
The PFA has been advocating for changes to the packed football schedule, particularly in light of the projected 32-team Club World Cup for next summer.
Not even ten days ago, I went to a dressing room where people were directly impacted, and I told them, ‘I’m pleased to be here and bark a bit, but in the end, it’s up to you.'” Which way do you want to go?” During the PFA and World Players’ Union Fifpro end-of-season review of player workload and recovery, Molango made the following statement.
“I’m not having it, we might as well strike,” a few of them uttered. Some questioned the purpose. I’m a millionaire, yes, but I don’t even have time to enjoy my wealth.
“Jurgen Klopp and Pep Guardiola are the ones who have stated this, not even the union. We are now unable to rule out any course of action.”
The PFA has been considering legal action as a response to the increasing number of football matches on the schedule, and it has vowed to take one.
Along with the PFA, Fifpro and the World Leagues Association (WLA), which comprises the Premier League, threatened legal action against Fifa in May if the organization proceeded with its intentions to host a 32-team Club World Cup.
