Marc Klok Joins FIFA Executive Program to Prepare for Future

Persib Bandung captain Marc Klok has been selected as one of 300 professional players to participate in the FIFA Player Executive Programme — a program focused on professional football club management.

The 31-year-old midfielder decided to join the program to prepare for his future — a strategic move ahead of his eventual retirement from professional playing.

Marc Klok plans to maintain his involvement in football after hanging up his boots — this program provides opportunities to learn various executive positions such as Technical Director and club CEO.

The Dutch player expressed his gratitude for being selected to join this prestigious program alongside participants from various countries.

Klok’s participation reflects a growing trend among active players preparing early for off-field careers. His leadership qualities on the pitch could translate into valuable contributions in executive roles within football management after his playing days end.
