UEFA: "European football is the greatest success story of modern-day sport" (Aleksander Ceferin)

"European football is the greatest success story of modern-day sport, but you have to put purpose before profit. Should our success be measured only in terms of our commercial achievements, or should it be able to take bold decisions that are not always guided by financial interests? Purpose over profit. That is the key," said Aleksander Ceferin (SVN), president of UEFA, at the 44^th Ordinary Congress in Amsterdam (Netherlands) on 03/03/2020.

"Football is not simply a business like any other. It has a history, tradition and structure that must be respected. Our principles, history, tradition and structure are the reason for our current success," added the president of the European body.

"There are certain principles that are sacrosanct. The right for confederations to organise continental competitions is an inalienable right. The principles of solidarity, of promotion, relegation and open leagues are also non-negotiable," said Aleksander Ceferin.
