CFK

The bridging pension is a compulsory tailor made scheme for professional players who pay in a percentage of their gross earnings to form their own individual pension fund. Contributions are free of tax and social insurance premiums. Payment of bridging benefits begins directly after the player’s professional career ends and continues for a number of years.

The amount and duration of these benefits depend on the balance in the player’s personal fund. Bridging benefits are paid monthly after deduction of wage tax and social insurance premiums.
