The International Federation of Association Football (FIFA), on
the 7th of April 2020, published guidelines on
certain prominent issues and made recommendations to address the
consequences of the unprecedented disruption caused by Covid-19 to
the Football community. The guidelines were framed by a task force
chaired by the Vice-President of FIFA, Vittorio Montagliani,
alongside various other stakeholders like representatives of clubs,
players, national associations etc.
There are three core issues that the task force considered
relevant to address in the guidelines:
- Expiring Contracts (due to end at the end of the current
season) and New Contracts (due to commence at the start of the
upcoming season)
