December 20 – The Romanian Football Federation (FRF) and the Romanian Financial Supervisory Authority (ASF) launched a financial education manual dedicated to football players aged 10-16, to support them in managing their personal finances and making informed financial decisions both during and after their sports career.
The publication is part of a more comprehensive collaboration protocol, signed by ASF and FRF in May, with the common objective of facilitating access to financial education for as many football players as possible.
“The launch of this manual represents an important step we are taking to train players who not only excel on the field, but also have the ability to build a solid financial future. A sports career is one full of challenges, but also opportunities. Through this manual, we want to provide footballers, as well as athletes in general, with the necessary tools to effectively manage their budget and make decisions that ensure their long-term stability and prosperity,” said Gabriel Avrămescu, First Vice-President of the ASF.
“At the Romanian Football Federation, we believe that success on the field must be accompanied by responsibility in all aspects of life. We believe that this manual will have a positive long-term impact on the careers of our players, contributing to the development of generations of footballers better prepared for life, both on and off the field,” said Răzvan Burleanu, president of the FRF.
The financial education manual covers a wide range of topics, from how to responsibly manage sports income to how financial products and services can protect their finances and ensure stability even after their sports careers end.
It also includes a series of practical applications designed to consolidate theoretical knowledge and provide an interactive experience, so that athletes can better understand financial concepts and integrate them into everyday life.
The Financial Supervisory Authority in Romania is the national authority, established in 2013 for the regulation and supervision of the insurance markets, private pensions, and the capital market. ASF contributes to the consolidation of the integrated operating framework of the three sectors, which total over 10 million participants.
