The Slovenian Aleksander Ceferin was this Wednesday re-elected, unanimously and by acclamation, in Lisbon, for a third term in the presidency of UEFA, for which he chose as flags the defense and unity of football.
“I want to thank you very much, from the bottom of my heart, [this election] means a lot to me. It is a great moment, but also a great responsibility, for football. I promise to do my best not to let you down. Many, many thanks”, said the already re-elected Ceferin, during the 47th UEFA Congress, taking place in Lisbon.
At the age of 55, the former president of the Football Federation of Slovenia leaves behind a mandate in which he had to deal with a pandemic, a war between two European countries, the ambition of the continent’s most powerful clubs, and the approval of changes in some competitions such as the Champions League and the Nations League.
