Joachim Walltin
Joachim Walltin serves as the General Secretary for the European division of FIFPRO, the global players' union representing over 65,000 football players, with more than 35,000 members in Europe. An outspoken advocate for players' rights, Walltin has been a vocal critic of FIFA's decision to implement a Club World Cup that adds significant additional match days to an already congested schedule. He argues that this not only jeopardizes player health and well-being but also the overall quality of football. Walltin's recent actions include a lawsuit against FIFA, reflecting a rare collaboration between player associations and professional leagues, asserting that FIFA has failed to engage with stakeholders in a responsible manner.
