TEAM, UEFA’s partner 06 News from member associations 16 PHOTO: FLASH PRESS EditorialTrue servants of UEFA Men in the shadows? This expression does not really apply to a group of people who all either hold or have held top positions within their national football associations and whose media profile within their respective countries is therefore considerable. Nevertheless, when they are elected to the UEFA Executive Committee, the supreme body of European football, these same leaders are still able to function together as a group, chaired by the President, Lennart Johansson, and exercise shared responsibility in a way that shuns any form of individualism. Even the tasks they are called on to fulfil individually are carried out on the Executive Committee’s behalf rather than their own. They work as a team and are well aware that, in football, it is the players who are the stars. These men are nonetheless key personalities in the fabric of European football. They have been entrusted by the national association representatives who elected them with the job of taking our sport forward whilst upholding its traditions, protecting its interests, maintaining its equilibrium and, in particular, ensuring that the general good prevails over individual concerns. Their task is huge; they are required to study carefully countless docu- ments on the broadest possible range of subjects, from sporting aspects to legal and financial questions, as well as constantly evolving information on new media technologies. Whether in meetings, travelling, pitchside, at seminars or in their offices, the Executive Committee members spend endless hours working to promote the development and popularity of football in general, particularly within the continent of Europe. It is fitting that, in UEFA’s official magazine, they should each be the subject of a brief, one-page tribute as part of a series which will provide an insight into certain aspects of their personalities.

Standard de Liège. Previous meetings • Alan made the breakthrough on 36 minutes when the sides met for the first time on matchday one, but Jonatan Soriano stole the show with a 35-minute hat-trick in a 4-0 win for Salzburg – the fourth fastest treble in the competition. Steven Gerrard's 13-minute hat-trick for Liverpool FC against SSC Napoli in November 2010 remains the quickest. • That encounter was Elfsborg's first meeting with Austrian opposition and Salzburg's first encounter with a Swedish side. • This will be the 19th game between men's clubs from Austria and Sweden in UEFA competition; Austrian teams have had marginally the better of the previous 18, with the record W9 D3 L6.

  • Sveriges A-Landslagsmän 2002 – Av Jimmy Lindahl
    Sveriges A-landslagsmän 2002 – av Jimmy Lindahl Det oavgjorda året – mer behöver egentligen inte sägas för att beskriva landslagssäsongen 2002. Elva av fjorton landskamper var oavgjorda vid full tid och även om en av matcherna fick förlängas och smärtsamt avgjordes med ett Golden goal i VM så kommer ändå sifferkombinationen en seger, tio oavgjorda och tre förluster utgöra ett bokslut för 2002 som framtiden inte kommer att bli speciellt imponerad över. Den enda segern kom visserligen i VM mot Nigeria och grundlade segern i ”Dödens grupp”, men ytterligare några segrar hade krävts för att året skulle kunna räknas in bland de framgångsrika årgångarna I årets 14 landskamper användes 41 spelare, varav 8 var debutanter. Två av debutanterna kom med i VM-truppen, dock utan att spela någon match. Av 2001 års landslagsmän deltog 34 (av 62) inte i någon landskamp 2002. Flest landskamper under året gjorde Marcus Allbäck, 13 st. Flest minuter spelade dock Tobias Linderoth, som tillbringade 1049 minuter på planen i landslagströjan. Genomsnittsåldern för de 41 spelarna är 26,6 år. Genomsnittsåldern för de 8 debutanterna är 24,4 år. Debutanterna gjorde tillsammans 18 landskamper och två mål. Båda målen gjordes av debutanten Mikael Nilsson i årets sista landskamp mot Tjeckien. Mikael blev också den ende nye målskytten i A-landslaget. I sammanhanget kan det även nämnas att Mikael blev den 153:e spelaren som gjorde mål i sin landslagsdebut och den 40:e som gjorde minst två mål i debuten. För andra gången under Tommy Söderbergs och Lars Lagerbäcks ledning gjorde landslaget mer än ett mål i snitt per match.

  • Xherdan Shaqiri Under Contract with Ol Until 30 June 2024
    COMMUNIQUÉ DE PRESSE Lyon, le 09/06/2020 XHERDAN SHAQIRI UNDER CONTRACT WITH OL UNTIL 30 JUNE 2024 Lyon, 23 August 2021 Olympique Lyonnais is very pleased to confirm the transfer of Swiss international midfielder Xherdan Shaqiri . Xherdan Shaqiri passed his medical exam today in Lyon and has signed a three-year contract with Olympique Lyonnais, i.e. until 30 June 2024. The 29-year-old Kosovo native has won 96 caps with the Swiss national team, with which he has participated in three World Cup final phases (2010, 2014 and 2018) and two Euros (2016, 2021), including the elimination of the French national team in the round of 16 on 28 June 2021 in Bucarest. Considered one of the best players in the history of Swiss football, alongside Alexander Frei and Stéphane Chapuisat, Xherdan is currently the Swiss highest scorer in major international tournaments (eight goals in 17 starts). The offensive midfielder has appeared in more than 400 matches in four European championships (Switzerland, Germany, Italy and England). He is a versatile player, effective both on the wing and in support of his forwards, and has all the qualities OL manager Peter Bosz is seeking. Since his début in the 2009/10 season, Xherdan has built a prestigious record with five top-notch clubs, helping them to win, among other things, two Champions League titles (Bayern in 2013, Liverpool in 2019), seven national championship titles (Basel, Bayern and Liverpool), four national cups (Basel, Bayern), two European Super Cups and two Club World Cups. Xherdan Shaqiri promising young players. His arrival, following that of double European champion Emerson Palmieri, confirms that despite a difficult start to the season, Olympique Lyonnais is acquiring the resources it needs to have a great season both in Ligue 1 and in the Europa League.
