A Fifa working group is canvassing for input from its member associations to defuse the looming chaos over contracts and the transfers of players.
While professional football leagues around the world are deliberating whether to cancel or resume the 2019/20 season in the wake of the Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic, a Fifa working group is canvassing for input from its member associations to defuse the looming chaos over contracts and the transfers of players.The ruling by Fifa means that all players whose contracts expire in June must stay at the clubs until the current season is completed.
While Safa has ordered the indefinite postponement of matches at all levels, the PSL last week established its own task force to seek ways to save the season. Mokoena said the federation would soon engage with the PSL so that it could offer its input, and would immediately pass the feedback to the Fifa council for approval.
Leading local player managers Glyn Binkin and Mike Makaab said they totally agreed with Fifa’s ruling. "In addition, when a player and a club enter into a contractual agreement of employment, it is always the intention of the parties that such an agreement will conclude at the end of a football season, which is why the guideline is currently June 30 – that is when most leagues in the world finish up.
“But I do believe that the human spirit is strong. The most important thing is for all the stakeholders to look at the situation in a selfless and objective way. My only hope is that, when stakeholders sit around the table, they include player agents.”On March 18, Fifa established a working group to review its regulations on the status of players’ contracts and transfers.
