Releases

On this page, you will find the downloads of the current version and the previous versions of the FIFA Connect Data. Full backward compatibility cannot be assumed. As such, when migrating to a newer version, service providers should inform its users about the migration, and reference them to the new version.

We are happy to announce a long awaited update of the FIFA Data Standard. Version 3.3 adds new fields (like “Popular Name” or “2nd Nationality“), extends some types with new values (e.g. “VAR” as a new role of a Match Official and “ClubTrainingCategory” as a new field in the PlayerRegistrationType) and corrects all typos. See the section below for the full list of changes.

Users who are integrated with FIFA Connect ID Service will be happy to know that new versions of all SDKs have already been prepared to take the new Standard into consideration. The next step is for all users (mostly Member Associations) to upgrade their SDKs. All the information about the upgrade process may be found here.
