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 poll brings an innovative form of recognition to the Czech Republic, with the ideal line-up of the best male players from the Chance Liga and the best female players from the FORTUNA=LIGA being decided by the footballers themselves who play in both competitions.

The European Court of Justice (ECJ) in October 2024 ruled in favour of former Arsenal, Chelsea and Real Madrid midfielder Lassana Diarra after it found central parts of FIFA's transfer rules break European Union law. It is a landmark judgement set to improve professional footballers' freedom of movement. So, what does this mean now for footballers and clubs? FIFPRO Europe, who supported Diarra’s legal claim along with FIFPRO and French player union UNFP, breaks down what the ruling signifies, why the previous system restricted players, and why a new transfer system must be the result of collective bargaining.
