Unifying the Players

We support and protect the player community, encouraging mentorship and togetherness that crosses the boundaries of different cultures and teams.

Amplifying Influence

We amplify the voice of the players by encouraging cooperation and coordinating efforts within the player community.

Building a Legacy

We strive to be the catalyst for positive change in the lives of past, current and future players, both on and off the field.

The Players Association is a democratic organization run by and for players, and ultimate control over the PA rests with the players. The players on each team vote by secret ballot to elect a Player Representative, and those Player Representatives elect a nine-player Executive Board. The Executive Board governs the PA and makes all major decisions. The Executive Board also hires the PA’s Executive Director, who runs the day-to-day operations of the PA, and its General Counsel, who provides legal advice to the PA.

Players Promise

We are dedicated to empowering the people and organizations who are using soccer to impact lasting positive change.
