"Mental and physical health are equal partners in the combined well-being of a person, and care for both must be seen as integral in caring for the footballing family," said Andrew Massey, FIFA medical director.

"The well-being of footballers at all levels of the game has always been and will always be the top priority of FIFA, as can be seen with this collaboration."

Some of the world's best players have admitted struggling with mental health, such as French World Cup winner Paul Pogba and Spanish World Cup winner Andrés Iniesta, who said he had depression leading up to the 2010 tournament due to his injuries.
