The Professional Footballer’s Association of Ireland (PFAI) PFAI was formed in 1961 and through experience has gained the knowledge of knowing how to look after the most important people in the league – the players. We are the sole representative body of professional and semi-professional footballers playing in the FAI National League and we have the continued support of the senior Republic of Ireland international team. Our Association is a democratic, player driven organisation that ensures that its members are afforded the opportunity to develop their full potential in a professional and supportive environment. The PFAI has a representative on the Dispute Resolution Chamber (DRC) which deals with disputes and appeals with the football authorities. The PFAI is a member of FIFPro, the World Players’ Union, and it is also a member of SIPTU, the country’s biggest trade union, so any problems the Association deals with on the players’ behalf will also have the backing of these two organisations. Our Association overseas the Irish Professional Footballers’ Education and Support Trust which was set up by the PFAI and the FAI to provide financial and educational assistance for past and present League of Ireland players. And the PFAI is a founder member of the Show Racism the Red Card (Ireland) campaign which tackles discrimination in the game. The PFAI was set-up and run as a part-time organisation up until 2002 when funding from FIFPro and office space from SIPTU enabled the Association to operate a full time basis. The current fulltime staff is – Stephen McGuinness, General Secretary; Ollie Cahill, Player Executive; Stephen Bent, Player Liaison and Sharon Smith, Office Co-ordinator. Ireland – Team PFAI Pat Scully is the manager for the PFAI Ireland team and he is assisted by coach Shaun Maher and goalkeeping coach Gary Rogers. Training for the FIFPro International Winter Tournament began at the end of November, just 4 weeks after the end of the League of Ireland 2012 season. More than 35 players have attended training sessions at both the AUL Complex and Malahide United’s Gannon Park. Pat Scully Pat is a defender who began his career at Arsenal in England but made his name with Southend United, where he made over 100 league appearances. He made one appearance for the Ireland international team. Pat returned home to Ireland and carved out a successful career in the League of Ireland with Shelbourne, where he won the league and cup double in 1999/2000; Shamrock Rovers and Drogheda United. He moved into management in 2005 with Kilkenny City and in 2006 he took up the reins at Shamrock Rovers. Rovers had just been relegated from the premier division and Scully brought the club back up at the first attempt by claiming the 2006 first division title. In 2009 he moved to Limerick FC and once again he secured the first division title and promotion to the premier division in 2012. Shaun Maher

Shaun began his League of Ireland career as a defender with Bohemian FC where he, too, won a league and cup double in 2000/1001. He moved to the English league making over 100 appearances for Bournemouth before returning to Ireland where he plied his trade for Drogheda United, Sporting Fingal, Galway United and Limerick FC. He won an FAI Cup medal in 2009 with Sporting Fingal Gary Rogers Goalkeeper Gary is still playing in the League of Ireland for 2012 champions Sligo Rovers, where he won his first league championship medal. He made his league debut in 2001 for Drogheda United and has made over 260 appearances with United, Dublin City, Bray Wanderers, Galway United, Patrick’s Athletic and Sligo Rovers. Stephen McGuinness Stephen is the General Secretary of the PFAI and he was a defender in the League of Ireland for 14 years where he played for Home Farm, St Patrick’s Athletic, Shamrock Rovers and Dundalk. He won the League championship twice in 1997/1998 and 1998/1999.

Spelarföreningen Fotboll I Sverige (SFS) The main goal of the SFS is to protect the players and their interests in all possible ways and at the same time also improve the conditions of all football players in Sweden. The SFS was established 1975 and one of the founders Gert Persson is still (38 years later!) going strong as the current President. The SFS have got around 700 members at the moment where most of the members are players in the men´s first and second league, and also the women´s first league. As a member of the international players association FIFPro we have a lot of cooperation with other player unions. By natural causes we have a tight collaboration with our Nordic neighbors Denmark, Finland and Norway. In the FIFPro Winter tournament we also cooperate with Ireland. In Sweden we also tend to pull together player unions from other sports in an organization called Sports Pro Sverige. Benefits as a member in SFS ✔ Free legal advice (after contact with Spelarföreningen) ✔ Contractual advice ✔ Personal insurance advice and offers ✔ Financial advice ✔ Member benefits of FIFPro ✔ Football magazine (Offside for men and Marta for women) ✔ Chance to take part in our transfer list and the FIFPro Winter Tournament ✔ Educational service ✔ Home insurance and other good offers Tournament preparations We are glad to be one of the participating teams in this third annual FIFPro Winter Tournament in Oslo. The preparations before the tournament did begin in November with invitations to our members without contract. In late December we invited 24 players to participate at a 3 day camp in Stockholm 6th – 8th of January. The players were all very motivated and trying their best to be a part of our 16 player squad going to Oslo. Responsible coaches for team Sweden is the former players (nowadays leaders), Jesper Blomqvist and Andreas Andersson. Jesper who played for(amongst other clubs), Manchester United, AC Milan and IFK Göteborg. Andreas had a successful career in for instance AC Milan, Newcastle united and AIK. They were both frequently playing for the Swedish national team. To take care of the player’s health (and probably more) we have our physio Palle Davidsson. We also have our SFS staff as project leaders which includes Magnus Erlingmark, secretary general and Johan Göransson, advisor.
