UEFA: report of the president, executive committee and administration 2016-17

"UEFA and its Executive Committee can look back with satisfaction on a year when stability returned to European football’s governing body after a deli­cate and challenging previous period. The Executive Committee took a series of far­sighted decisions that set the course for a fresh new era, while never losing sight of its duty to consolidate UEFA’s mission to safeguard European football’s overall well­being," said UEFA presenting the report of the president and executive committee and administration, at the Bratislava (SVK) congress on 26/02/2018.

"Aleksander Ceferin, president of the Football Association of Slovenia since 2011, was elected (on 14/09/2016) as UEFA’s seventh president by the body’s 55 member associations. The new president came into office with a clear vision for the future, which focused on the further protection, promotion and develop­ment of European football, putting the game first and safeguarding its interests," added UEFA.
