The Czech Association of Football Players (ČAFH) is the largest organisation which brings together professional athletes in the Czech Republic and promotes their interests at both national and international level.
Below are four areas of interest about which our members most frequently seek help and advice. If you encounter any difficulty from any of these four topics, or you need guidance on any other issue, do not hesitate to contact us.
The mission of the Czech Association of Football Players is to support its members by helping them deal with problems of all kinds. More and more players turn to us in need of help. You play, we care!
"Football players should act like one family, one team, even when they play for different clubs. That’s exactly what the ČAFH makes possible. While many players don’t encounter the slightest issue throughout their career, many others face difficult situations on multiple occasions. The ČAFH is here to help these players and their task is to unite, hang together, and support one another."
"I have experienced how player associations work and how strong they are in France and in England. Footballers greatly appreciate their work and are proud to be their members. We strive to build the ČAFH into an organisation with an equally strong position and reputation as similar associations abroad."
"If anyone wants to achieve great results in today’s world of professional football, they must devote 100% of their time and energy to play, training, and regeneration. In such case, there is no time left to contact lawyers and make sure that your contract includes all the necessary parts, or it is just a useless piece of paper. There is nothing like having somebody who covers your back. Thank you!"

The Czech Association of Football Players (ČAFH) hereby calls on and appeals to the general public, the sporting community, and the highest public officials to pay close attention to the protection of sexual integrity in sport, particularly with regard to the course and thus far unsatisfactory outcome of the case involving former and current female players of 1.FC Slovácko, who in the past were victims of sexual crimes committed by their coach.

Today, on the 30th anniversary of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) ruling in the Bosman case, the Czech Association of Football Players (ČAFH) officially announced its support for the class action lawsuit initiated by Justice for Players, which has been joined by the French players' association UNFP and already supported by players' unions in the Netherlands, Belgium, Austria, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, North Macedonia and Serbia. The class action lawsuit, filed on behalf of male and female football players, is directed against FIFA and aims to compensate all those who, according to the conclusions of another landmark ruling by the CJEU in the Diarra case, have been harmed by FIFA regulations, which the CJEU has found to be contrary to European law and the freedoms guaranteed within the EU.
