The Professional Footballers' Association (PFA) is the trade union for professional association footballers in England and Wales.

Founded in 1907, the PFA is the world's oldest professional sport trade union.[2] The union has a membership of approximately 5,000 current professional players each season, made up of professionals and professional scholars from the Premier League, EFL and Women’s Super League.[3]

Nearly 50,000 former members retain access to services and benefits including education grants, coaching courses and wellbeing support. [4]

The current CEO of the PFA is Maheta Molango, who took over the position from longstanding Chief Executive Gordon Taylor in 2021.[5] The current Chair of the elected Players' Board, which represents members and communicates their views to the union's leadership team, is Leyton Orient defender Omar Beckles.[6]

The leadership team of the PFA, which has offices in London and Manchester, is also supported by an Operational Board of non-executive directors who are responsible for advising on and scrutinising the governance of the union.[7]
