The current UEFA President, Aleksandar Čeferin, received the support of delegates at today’s Congress and the chance to lead the European Football Association by 2023.

Čeferin was the only candidate for the UEFA President, and after the election among other things he said:

“I am proud and touched by this kind of support. The truth is that we are in a great position, but that is not enough. We must think ahead of development and future successes. We must not allow recent short-term success to hide the complex challenges ahead of us. We can promise that, during the next period, we will work to preserve the unity of European football, to preserve its respect, and we will continue to demonstrate solidarity and bring hope.”
