1BSPORTS 1B Sports June 13th News The International Federation of Professional Football Players (FIFPro) posted a poster today, saying that Pedri once again became the male football player with the largest workload in 2025, and once again called for players to get enough rest.
FIFPro previously issued a position statement on minimum rest guarantee for professional players, recommending the enforcement of mid-season breaks and saying that players should enjoy a two-week full offseason.
In the 2020-21 season, Pedri, who was 18 years old, played more than 60 games for Barcelona, and then participated in the European Cup and Olympics non-stop. At that time, photos of his haggard face were once widely flooded with the screen.
FIFPro today forwarded the photo of Pedri at that time and wrote: “In 2022, Pedri was the player with the largest workload, and now in 2025, he has reached the top again, and he is still only 22 years old this year.”
“The players urgently need a rest, but for many, the Club World Cup is imminent.”
FIFPro also lists the appearance rankings of male football players in the 2024-25 season (ends to June 1), which are as follows:
1. Pedri (Barcelona) – 67 games
2. Brazil (Barcelona) – 66 games
3. Valverde (Real Madrid) – 65 games
4. Modric (Real Madrid) – 64 games
5 (Ticket), Zoolis (Bruges), B Fee (Manchester United), Rafinia (Barcelona), Akturkogru (Benfica) – 63 games
9 (Ticket), Saar (Tottenham), Fabian Ruiz (Paris Saint-Germain) – 62 games
