Message Photos: uefa-pjwoods.ch of the president Moments in history that help forge our future As last month’s events in Hamburg and Madrid once more amply demonstrated, the finals of UEFA’s club competitions never fail to stir extraordinary passions and underline the exceptional commitment of the fans to their teams. As fleeting as these wonderful finals are, year after year they produce moments of unforgettable brilliance and glittering performances from the stars that contribute another golden thread to football’s rich and enduring tapestry. UEFA’s role is to do everything to ensure that, collectively, these annual events form part of a continuous whole; in other words, that they help to promote the long-term stability and well-being of European club football. The months leading up to the FIFA World Cup in South Africa have been exceptionally busy for European football. We have enjoyed the finals of the major European club competitions – including the first ever UEFA Women’s Champions IN THIS ISSUE League – as well as various youth tournaments and, of course, we have seen the French Football Federation chosen to host EURO 2016.

50 YEARS AGO USSR win European Nations’ Cup On 10 July 1960, in front of a crowd of 17,966, the USSR defeated Yugoslavia 2-1 to win the inaugural European Nations’ Cup, the precursor to the European Championship. The winning goal came in extra time and was scored by Viktor Ponedelnik. Played at the Parc des Princes in Paris, the match was the culmina- tion of a four-team final tournament played over five days. The two semi- finals were played in Paris and Marseille, with the latter also staging a third-place match, in which Czechoslovakia defeated France 2-0. The final tournament was preceded by a 16-team knockout com- petition that had kicked off on 28 September 1958, when the USSR and Hungary drew a crowd of 100,572 in Moscow. The final tournament failed to generate quite the same level of interest, especially after the French had been eliminated in the semi- finals. But the fact that this inaugural competition had been staged was, France to host UEFA EURO 2016 The atmosphere at the Espace Hippomène in Geneva on the morning of 28 May was highly charged, and not just because of the high-ranking political figures present and the special security measures in place. It was here that 13 members of the Executive Com- mittee, chaired by the second vice- president, Geoffrey Thompson, convened to determine which country would host EURO 2016, and the outcome was awaited with bated breath.

The first issue to produce uni- versal agreement among the members appears to be health, including doping. Meanwhile, all of the member states are awaiting a European Commission communication on the implementation of the Lisbon Treaty (a kind of follow- up to the White Paper on Sport, see uefadirect Nos 64 and 65), which is due to be published in November this year. A number of issues were raised by the member states. France was keen to voice its support for the UEFA ini- UEFA-Woods tiatives regarding financial fair play and protection of minors. Meanwhile, Belgium, which will assume the EU presidency from 1 July to 31 December, highlighted three priority areas: …and athlete education and training, the Turkey social role of sport and anti-doping measures.
