  • 031129 156 UEFA Jubilee
    Media Release Date: 29/11/2003 Communiqué aux médias No. 156 Medien-Mitteilung UEFA officially launches its Golden Jubilee Year European Football Union to celebrate its 50 year anniversary on 15 June 2004 UEFA today officially launched its Jubilee Year within the framework of the Final Draw for UEFA EURO 2004™. UEFA was founded at a meeting in Basle, Switzerland, on 15 June 1954, during the 1954 World Cup. Delegates representing 30 countries attended that meeting in the Hotel Euler. Shortly afterwards, Ebbe Schwartz of Denmark was named UEFA’s first president. Just one year later, the new UEFA fulfilled one of its most urgent priorities by introducing the European Champion Clubs’ Cup (the first five editions of which were won by Real Madrid), thanks largely to journalists from the L’Equipe newspaper. Another objective was met when the first edition of the European Championship was held in 1960. UEFA’s destiny in the decades since then has been largely mirrored by the evolution of these and other competitions. This story, through the subsequent presidencies of Gustav Wiederkehr (Switzerland), Artemio Franchi (Italy), Jacques Georges (France) and Lennart Johansson (Sweden), is traced in a new book to be published on the occasion of the Jubilee UEFA Congress in Cyprus in April 2004. The commemorative books are one of many special Jubilee activities planned during the year 2004. UEFA’s exact 50th birthday, on 15 June, will fall during UEFA EURO 2004TM in Portugal, and will be marked accordingly. To mark UEFA’s Golden Jubilee, each of the 52 member associations has been invited to nominate its most outstanding player of the past 50 years.

В своем третьем матче в группе D россияне в Инсбруке сразятся со шведами за выход в плей-офф. • Россияне никогда прежде не обыгрывали сборную Швеции. Но если им наконец это удастся, то они с двумя победами впервые выйдут в четвертьфинал чемпионата Европы. • Шведы в добавленное время упустили ничью с Испанией и горят желанием отыграться. Для выход в плей-офф им хватит победы или ничьей, так как они имеют лучшую разницу забитых и пропущенных мячей по сравнению с Россией. • Сборная России начала групповой этап с поражения от испанцев со счетом 1:4, за которых отличился Давид Вилья (20, 44, 75) и Цеск Фабрегас (91). Роман Павлюченко забил гол престижа в составе команды России, которая во втором матча обыграла греков благодаря точному удару Константина Зырянова на 33-й минуте. • Сборная Швеции стартовала на турнире с победы над греками - 2:0, ворота которых поразили Златан Ибрагимович (67) и Петтер Ханссон (72). Во второй встрече скандинавы уступили команде Испании - 1:2. Фернандо Торрес открыл счет на 15-й минуте, на 34-й минуте Златан Ибрагимович восстановил паритет, но гол Давида Вильи на 92-й минуте принес "фурии рохе" три очка.

Both teams lost their opening games on Saturday and a second defeat here could well signal the end of their ambitions. • If that were not enough to guarantee nerves, the fact this fixture is a reprise of the sides' stormy encounter in qualifying for the 2006 FIFA World Cup means tension levels may be high at St. Jakob-Park. • Switzerland went down 1-0 to the Czech Republic in the tournament's curtain-raiser, succumbing to Václav Svěrkoš's 71st-minute goal. To compound that blow to Swiss morale, the co-hosts also lost the services of captain and chief striker Alexander Frei for the remainder of the tournament with a knee ligament injury. • Switzerland had never before lost their first match in a major tournament but for Turkey, this backs-to-the-wall situation is nothing new following reverses in the opening game of every single previous finals appearance – at the 1954 and 2002 FIFA World Cups, and EURO '96™ and UEFA EURO 2000™. • Fatih Terim's men sit at the foot of the Group A table having lost 2-0 to Portugal in Geneva through goals from Pepe and Raul Meireles.

Именно эти команды сошлись в поединке в первом туре группового этапа ЕВРО-2004™. Тогда все решил единственный гол Хуана Карлоса Валерона на 60-й минуте, а у россиян за две минуты до конца был удален Роман Шаронов. • Испанцы довели матч до победы, но ни одна из команд не захочет повторить собственный турнирный путь в Португалии, ведь обе в итоге сложили оружие уже на групповом этапе. • На стадионе "Алгарве" 12 июня 2004 года команды играли в следующих составах: Испания: Икер Касильяс, Карлос Марчена, Карлес Пуйоль, Иван Эльгера, Рауль Браво, Хосеба Эчеверрия, Давид Албелда, Рубен Бараха (Хаби Алонсо), Висенте Родригес, Рауль Гонсалес (Фернандо Торрес), Фернандо Морьентес (Хуан Карлос Валерон). Россия: Сергей Овчинников, Вадим Евсеев, Алексей Смертин, Роман Шаронов, Дмитрий Сенников, Евгений Алдонин (Дмитрий Сычев), Дмитрий Аленичев, Ролан Гусев, Александр Мостовой, Марат Измайлов (Андрей Каряка), Дмитрий Булыкин. • За свою историю сборная России ни разу не обыгрывала испанцев. Первая встреча в 1998 году в Гранаде завершилась минимальной победой хозяев, у которых отличился Биттор Алькиса. Спаринг в 2006 году в Альбасете закончился нулевой ничьей. • В Альбасете соперники играли в следующих составах: Испания: Икер Касильяс, Серхио Рамос, Пабло Ибаньес, Карлес Пуйоль, Антонио Лопес (Хоакин Санчес), Давид Албелда (Хави Эрнандес), Маркос Сенна (Хаби Алонсо), Цеск Фабрегас (Андрес Иниеста), Луис Гарсия (Рауль Гонсалес), Давид Вилья (Хосе Антонио Рейес), Фернандо Торрес.

ESKOLA in the Under-19s 05 News from member associations 17 EditorialA special moment The history of football reflects predominantly the finals of the big competitions and the tournaments in which those competitions culminate, events which attract a far wider audience than just the supporters of the partici- pating teams and stir up excitement in the world of football as a whole. There is, however, another moment in the season when a different kind of shiver runs through the football world. It is the moment when the new season com- mences and when the teams get ready to embark on a new adventure which awakens all sorts of speculation and dreams, and when everyone can nurture the wildest of hopes. There is no doubt that it is a special time, even though it is often followed by a rapid and brutal return to reality. As the new season gets under way, the way in which last season ended, both in the UEFA club competitions and EURO 2004, makes all those dreams all the more justifiable.

For Spain it is an opportunity to make the last four for the first time since 1984 while Italy are bidding for their second semi-final berth in three EURO tournaments. • Spain began their Austria-Switzerland campaign as if determined to make up for past disappointments, ramming four goals past Russia in Innsbruck with David Villa (20, 44, 75) becoming the first player since 2000 to score a hat-trick on this illustrious stage. The Valencia CF striker then set up the fourth goal for Cesc Fàbregas (90+1) after Roman Pavlyuchenko (86) had reduced the deficit . • Villa worked his magic again four days later by scoring the winner in the 92nd minute against Sweden at the same Stadion Tivoli Neu which guaranteed their progression to the quarter-finals as winners of Group D. Fernando Torres (15) had put Spain ahead but the lead was cancelled out before half-time by Zlatan Ibrahimović (34). • Spain maintained their momentum on the final night of first-round action thanks to another late winner, this time by Daniel Güiza two minutes from the end of their encounter with Greece.
