Fifpro said research showed that the 2023 AFC Women's Club Championship (AWCC) had disrupted the lives of more than 90 per cent of participating players.
"Players who are not full-time professionals have to balance football with other work, study or family responsibilities," the union said in the report.
"Only 9 per cent of players said that the AWCC did not disrupt their domestic football or other life commitments.
"Competition organisers need to understand the profile of the athletes participating and implement conditions that alleviate their challenges and maximise the quality of the product."
