Professional Footballers' Association

The Professional Footballers' Association (PFA) is the union for all current and former footballers and scholars in the Premier League, the Women's Super League and English Football Leagues. 

We are committed to helping each member understand their purpose both as a professional player and a person. We provide the information, advice and support needed to help maximise the opportunities that come with playing professional football. 

We're the only football organisation that solely prioritises players' needs. As well as contractual and employment support, we offer a variety of educational, financial and wellbeing services. 

The PFA proudly amplifies the players' voice to ensure their views are represented to the game's stakeholders and governing bodies. 

We also protect and enhance their rights and working conditions by holding stakeholders and governing bodies to account. 

Our team is passionate about helping footballers navigate personal or professional challenges, and we use our own experiences to relate to players and help prepare them for the future. 

We are here to protect and support players, for football and for life.
