FIFPRO Does Not Recommend Players Switch To Cyprus, Greece And Turkey

The global Players Union, FIFPro has advised players not to sign contracts with clubs in Cyprus, Greece and Turkey especially those not participating in European club competitions.

FIFPro explained that clubs in the countries listed above fail to honor contractual obligations, with many players reporting teams to FIFA's dispute resolution chamber (DRC).

'' Cyprus has for years occupied the first position, by a wide margin, as regards the number of disputes submitted to FIFA's dispute resolution chamber (DRC), while Greece and Turkey are vying for second position.

"In all three countries, the number of disputes increases every year.

'' The only exceptions are those clubs that play in European football: these accept the UEFA club licensing system, which reduces the risks,'' FIFPRO stated.
