‘This is paramount’: footballers get new help with pregnancy and playing return
Fifpro launches guide to assist players and club staffUnion pushing for solution on contract extensions
The international players’ union Fifpro has launched a Return to Play guide to help players, club staff and other football stakeholders better understand and manage pregnancy and the return to playing amid a “fairly barren” research landscape.
The guide takes players from the first steps involved in planning for pregnancy as a professional to a return to high-performance play, with details on regulations, methods of delivery and the impact those can have, the support needed at each stage, and more.
