Football Players' Association of India explained
The Football Players' Association of India or (FPAI) is an association for Indian association footballers.[1] Created in 2006, it aims to "look after the welfare of players and educate and advice them by engaging professionals".[2] [3] It was created by former Indian national team captain Bhaichung Bhutia. In 2007, it got affiliated to FIFPro.[4]
History
The FPAI was formed on 13 August 2006 as a brainchild of India national football team's then captain Bhaichung Bhutia. He said that the body would "function as the parent body of the players" and added that it would "work with the national and state associations for the game's development" and ensure "fair treatment for footballers".[2] Membership was opened to players, both Indian and foreign.
FPAI became an affiliate of FIFPro on 18 November 2009 at the FIFPro Congress in Budapest.
FPAI Awards
In 2009, the FPAI announced annual awards in four categories.[5] In 2022, awards in women's category were introduced. Current FPAI awards are the following:

- FPAI Foreign Player of the Year (Men's)
