Copper Queens forward Racheal Kundananji has been appointed to the FIFPRO Global Player Council.
FIFPRO has relaunched its Global Player Council (GPC), bringing together 37 men’s and women’s footballers from across the world to ensure player voices are central to decisions shaping the future of the game.
Players on the council include World Cup winner Alexis Mac Allister, Women’s World Cup winner and Olympic champion Crystal Dunn, five-time Women’s Champions League winner Lucy Bronze and players who have captained their national team such as Chris Wood, Jackson Irvine, Caroline Weir, Elena Linari and Wataru Endo.
The Global Player Council, which was first launched in 2019, provides a platform for active players with international experience to speak directly on matters affecting their careers. It ensures perspectives from both men’s and women’s football across different continents and competitions are heard.
