Player Protection Program

The Player Protection Program 

“Football players are humans too, and they deserve the right protection system, care, and provisions. The beautiful game of football is shown on the pitch through the players' dedication. For the players to perform on the pitch, we want to be available and mindful of how we can help them off the pitch.

“It includes education opportunities, job opportunities after retirement, mental health support, a football integrity reporting system, and advocating the players’ pursuit for excellence of the field. All players are valuable to the league, and we will do what it takes to provide the platform for their lives.''

Peter Koo, the General Manager of the Cambodian Premier League
