An internal document seen by Reuters shows that FIFA is getting ready to deal with complaints and appeals over wage cuts for players during the stoppage caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
The documents state that as football matches are halted across the globe, FIFA is aware that it may well have to deal with a series of different agreements and possible complaints and its guidelines urge any cuts to be "proportionate".
The internal paper notes that such decisions will inevitably reflect national law and specific agreements in each country but says it is keen to avoid large discrepancies between similar leagues and clubs.
It also urges clubs, leagues and players to reach "appropriate collective agreements". The issue of pay cuts for players has exploded as a major controversy in England while in other countries, such as Germany and Spain, players have accepted temporary reductions in earnings.
