ZIMBABWE international, Marshall Munetsi, has been appointed into the FIFPro Global Player Council, and said he feels highly honoured to represent global professional players.
“It’s a huge blessing for me to be part of the FIFPro Global Player Council to meet and discuss with like-minded people about issues that affect us as football players globally.
“It is also good for Zimbabwean football that has been banned internationally to make sure we find ways to deal with that without destroying future generations opportunities of representing their country on the international scene,” he said.
The council is made up of 34 active players with international experience from around the world.
Other members include former Italy captain, Giorgio Chiellini, Ghana captain, Andre Ayew, England Women’s Lucy Bronze, Belgian keeper, Simon Mignolet, and Sweden Women’s Magdalena Eriksson, among others.
According to FIFPro, the council is made up of members with demonstrated leadership qualities to raise any issues they have.
Its main objective is to ensure viewpoints from both men’s and women’s football and different leagues from around the world.
The council will strengthen the capacity to address cross-border issues, such as fixture schedules and recommended rest periods.
Meanwhile, Munetsi scored the sole goal in Stade de Reims’ win over Ajacio in a French Ligue 1 match played on Wednesday.
The midfielder grabbed the goal in the third minute of the game.
“Scoring is always a bonus for a midfield player and collecting all three points was the main objective for us as a team. I was glad to help the team,” he said.
