F-MARC FIFA - Medical Assessment and Research Centre 2003 - 2005 Introduction The FIFA Medical Assessment and Research Centre (F-MARC) was instituted in 1994 by the FIFA Medical Committee to provide scientific knowledge to deal with the various medical problems inherent in football. The main aim of F-MARC is to develop and implement preventive interventions to reduce the incidence of injuries and long-term changes (sequelae) caused by football. F-MARC is a group of international experts, chaired by Prof. Jiri Dvorak. F-MARC conducts interdisciplinary research projects in cooperation with other international research groups. Members of F-MARC are: Prof. Dr Lars Peterson (Sweden), Prof. Dr Toni Graf-Baumann (Germany) and Dr. Astrid Junge (Switzerland/Germany). F-MARC is sponsored by FIFA but all research is independently developed, carried out and published following scientific standards and requirements.
