UEFA President Ceferin to Seek Final Term
Aleksander Ceferin, the president of UEFA, announced his intention to seek a final four-year term during the UEFA congress scheduled for next April in Kazakhstan. This decision comes after a change of heart regarding his earlier stance of not running for re-election.
Ceferin, who succeeded Michel Platini in 2016 following Platini's ban from football-related activities, received "total support" from the 55 national associations at a meeting in Berlin. He expressed gratitude for their confidence and acknowledged the challenges faced in recent years, emphasizing the need for continued work to strengthen and unify European football.
Additionally, the meeting discussed the future governance and leadership of FIFA, which UEFA has criticized under Gianni Infantino's leadership. Ceferin's commitment to making European football stronger is a central theme of his campaign.
