Playing career

Support and recognition for pitches

The Players Union wants to support the development of players and give recognition to players who have distinguished themselves. The votes for the month’s and seasons’ best players raise the profile of players who have distinguished themselves and provide players with a chance to have a say in the selections. The player market for players without a contract aims to help members who are without a club.

The Players Union wants the players to have their contract-related matters in order and a clear insight into what has been agreed. Standard player contract template is used in Veikkausliiga, Ykkösliiga, Ykkönen, Kakkonen as well as Kansallinen Liiga and Kansallinen Ykkönen for all players. Also men's and women's Futsal-Liiga has their own standard player contract. 

Betting-related questions give rise to a lot of debate, and players should be aware of what they are allowed to bet on and what is prohibited, and what kind of information may be disclosed to outsiders. In order to eradicate match fixing, the Players Union has created a mobile-based Red Button tool for players to report anonymously if they are approached or hear anything related to match fixing.
