    TEMPORADA 2000/2001 PRESENTACIÓN Es imprescindible que empiece la presentación de esta memoria correspondiente a la tempora- da 2000 / 2001 con un emocionado recuerdo a D. Antonio Baró Armengol, a cuyo cargo estuvo el mando del fútbol profesional español en estos últimos catorce años, en los cuales hemos vivido un extraordinario desarrollo de nuestra actividad y hemos asistido al éxito de nuestros clubes y S.A.D. en el concierto internacional. Su talante comprensivo y negociador han marcado una lí- nea a la que no podemos ni queremos renunciar, siempre con el reto de mejorar las condiciones en las que se desenvuelve nuestra función. La sucesión de Antonio Baró significa- ba, también, un momento decisivo para la Liga Nacional de Fútbol Pro- fesional que no había vivido ningunas elecciones a lo largo de su historia. Se trataba de mantener la unidad entre todos los clubes y dar un paso al fren- te hacia los nuevos tiempos, con una organización avanzada, eficaz y preparada para dejar oír su voz en los nuevos escenarios que se plantean en el nuevo siglo. Por ello, la mayoría de nuestros clubes y S.A.D. apostaron por una presidencia profesional y a plena dedicación que supone todo un reto personal y una gran ilusión para mí y para mi equipo. Con ese orgullo y esa ilusión nos hemos puesto a trabajar inmediatamente porque el tiempo apre- mia y la LFP quiere seguir siendo el referente del fútbol profesional europeo, una cotización que 4 nos hemos ganado a pulso en estos últimos años, tión, de manera que ninguna amenaza enturbie tanto en el terreno de juego como en los campos el trabajo bien hecho.

The UEFA Champions League newcomers came back from 4-0 down at half-time to lose 4-3; Bale performed the rare feat of hitting a hat-trick for a side playing with 10 men; and it allowed English clubs to take over from Italy at the top of the hat-trick chart.

  • Referee Appointed for Semi-Final in Milan
    Media Release Date: 24/04/2005 Communiqué aux médias No. 057 Medien-Mitteilung Referee appointed for semi-final in Milan The UEFA Referees Committee today announced that Greek referee Kyros Vassaras will officiate at the first leg of the 2004/05 UEFA Champions League semi-final between AC Milan and PSV Eindhoven to be played at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza in Milan on Tuesday 26 April, kicking-off at 20.45 CET. His assistant referees will be Simeon Tsolakidis and Panagiotis Mavropoulos, while the 4th Official will be George Kasnaferis. All four members of the team are from Greece. Kyros Vassaras, 39, has been a referee for 21 years; made his first division debut ten years ago and has been a FIFA referee since 1998. He played the role of 4th Official at EURO 2000™ and UEFA EURO 2004™; was selected for the FIFA World Cup 2002, where he officiated at the China v Costa Rica match; and was also in the refereeing team for the Athens Olympics last summer, where he officiated at four matches, including the final between Argentina and Paraguay. This will be the third visit to San Siro for Kyros Vassaras for AC Milan matches. The first was on 18 September 2002, when the Italian team defeated RC Lens 2-1 and the second produced an identical scoreline but the other way round when RC Celta de Vigo visited the stadium on 9 December 2003 and earned an away win that secured their place in the next round. Kyros Vassaras also officiated at AC Milan’s 1- 0 win over FC Lokomotiv in Moscow on 25 February 2003 and their 0-0 draw with Celtic FC in Glasgow during the current campaign – on 7 December 2004, to be precise.

Portugal then overtook them in the initial standings thanks to a 2-0 win against Turkey in Geneva, Pepe and Raul Meireles the scorers. • This is a fixture that will stir memories of EURO '96™ and the only previous meeting between the countries – one settled in the Czechs' favour by a famous goal from Karel Poborský. • Poborský's cheeky lob over Vítor Baía after 53 minutes secured a 1-0 victory for the Czechs in the quarter-final at Villa Park in Birmingham.

  • The New Executive Committee Professional Football Strategy
    3.07 The new Executive Committee 03 Professional Football Strategy Forum 06 53rd UEFA member association 07 Referees train in Rome 11 No 59 – March 2007 No 58 – Février 2007 59 March Message Photos: UEFA-pjwoods.ch of the president The role of a coach Although my election as president of UEFA in some ways stirred up the same emotions as I experienced when I won major trophies as a player, my new role is more that of a coach, in the true sense of the word. My aim is to convince the leaders of European football to share my vision of football. It has been said that my vision of football is romantic or idealistic, but I believe that, in the long term, it is the right way to ensure the survival of our game and maintain its extraordinary popularity. We should not be seeking instant reward and selling our “products” to the highest bidder, but making sure that our competitions have as wide an appeal as possible and doing everything we can to ensure that they are attractive both in terms of the quality of play and results that are not a foregone conclusion. Of course, football needs money. It needs it to improve the education of coaches and, through them, the skill of players. It needs money to improve its facilities, to offer players the best possible conditions and spectators a safe and comfortable environment. It also needs money to develop grassroots football and to fulfil its social responsibilities by contributing to youth education. IN THIS ISSUE On the other hand, football has no use for profiteers, for people who, seeing how successful football is as a business, get involved for their own personal gain.
