For football. For life.

The Professional Footballers Association is the union for all current and former footballers and scholars in the Premier League, the FA Women’s Super League and the English Football Leagues. We believe in the unifying power of football in society, and are committed to empowering footballers to recognise their value as people, not just players.

We protect players’ rights, represent their views and provide support through a wide variety of educational, financial and wellbeing services.

We’re the only football organisation that solely prioritises players’ needs and we’re here for you.
