Objectives: To examine the satisfaction of footballers with online training. Study design: A cross-sectional study. Participants and methods: A total of 91 respondents were included in the study. Participants were footballers of the Football Club Osijek belonging to the following age groups: pioneers, cadets and juniors. The abovementioned groups were selected because they, in addition to seniors, used digital training tools. Footballers were interviewed via an online questionnaire. The survey questionnaire was anonymous. Results: Most footballers (74%) were generally satisfied with online training methods. Due to injury problems, a small number of footballers (8 %) needed the assistance of physiotherapists. Players expressed high confidence in professional staff and pointed out the support received by staff and their own families and friends. Most football players were not happy to switch to online training program (74 %), but they believe that it was an adequate preparation for return to the sports field. Nevertheless, they think that online training is not a satisfactory substitute for "normal", i.e. pre-lockdown training. In addition, players lacked communication with teammates and staff. Conclusion: The obtained results show that players were generally satisfied with online training program. They had a strong social support. The transition to online training conditions was difficult for them, but they are satisfied with the quality of the online training program and its purpose, i.e. a replacement for "normal", pre-lockdown training program. They do not think that online training itself is an adequate substitute for the "normal" training. Online training program may potentially lead to a decline in physical fitness when footballers return to the pitch.
