The FIFA Master. A one-year, truly global, breathtaking and sports intense adventure that has far exceeded our expectations. We have spoken to our classmates, and we all agree, this has been one of the best decisions we have ever made. Three universities in three different countries, twenty-eight people representing twenty-one different nationalities, all engaging in interesting and stimulating debates with fantastic Professors. It’s difficult to get a better mix than that.

The surveys carried out over the past decade allow us to reveal very clear trends. As illustrated in Monthly Report number 39, the footballers’ labour market in Europe is becoming deterritorialised by a decreasing presence of club-trained players, a stronger presence of expatriate footballers and greater mobility.
