FIFA and FIFPRO launching fund to aid players losing out on wages when clubs go out of businessFIFA president Gianni Infantino has joined forces with FIFPRO to set up fund to help unpaid playersFIFA and players' union FIFPRO are setting up a fund to help footballers who go unpaid and have no chance of receiving wages from clubs in financial difficulties. Norwich vs Liverpool Live onThe main target of the fund is to help players whose clubs go out of business to avoid paying wages and are then quickly reformed, giving previous employees no chance to reclaim what they are owed. FIFA president Gianni Infantino has set aside £12.3m to help players who go unpaid between 2020-2022. Philippe Piat, president of FIFPRO, added: "Many of these clubs have shut to avoid paying outstanding wages, immediately re-forming as so-called new clubs. "FIFPRO has long campaigned against this unscrupulous practice and thanks FIFA for combating it in its Disciplinary Code."
