  • UEFA"Direct #181 (31.10.2018)
    No. 181 No.181 • November/December • 2018 No.181 ANYONE, ANYTIME, ANYWHERE Grassroots football celebrated throughout Europe EDITORIAL Theodore Theodoridis UEFA General Secretary INNOVATION THROUGH CONSULTATION he first few months of the 2018/19 season have brought excitement and innovation for UEFA and European football: a new competition, new technology, and new T tournament hosts. The UEFA Nations League has got off to a thrilling start; the Executive Committee has decided to introduce video assistant referees (VAR) in the 2019/20 UEFA Champions League; and Germany has been selected to host the UEFA EURO 2024. UEFA is not in the business of making changes without good reason or by diktat. All these initiatives are the result of dialogue and consultation, and all have the same end goal: the continued success and further development of European football. UEFA, its member associations, and key stakeholders in the European Club Association and the European Leagues are working together for the good of the game. Football is a team game and UEFA is a team player. Consultation underpinned the creation of the UEFA Nations League, which kicked off in September. Turkey’s ecstatic celebrations after Emre Akbaba’s late double saw them come back from 2-0 down to win against Sweden; Kosovo’s joy at their first competitive match win, against the Faroe Islands; and Spain’s victories over England and Croatia after a disappointing World Cup showed how much this competition already means to players. Just as the UEFA Nations League was only introduced after extensive research and debate, UEFA has been careful not to rush the introduction of video assistant referees.

    ANNUAL REPORT 2019 – 2020 SECTION 1 - MEMBERSHIP, OFFICERS AND SECRETARIAT 1.1 MEMBERSHIP A total of 379 Associations were registered for affiliation in Season 2019-20 1.2 THE CHAIRMAN Phil Harding has carried out the duties of Chairman of the English Schools` Football Association with pride, diligence and a tremendous work ethic. In often challenging times, he has led the Association with consistency, confidence and dignity and has represented the ESFA with distinction. Sadly, it has been a season of interruption given the global pandemic we are enduring but that hasn’t stopped Phil from using his year as Chairman to ensure the Association continues to move forward and to function effectively and efficiently. As all who know Phil would expect, he has provided strong and clear leadership from the chair during Council meetings and has maintained his solution focussed approach throughout. A significant area that he has driven this year has been the prominence of rep football in the structural change process: one of Phil’s main passions is for District and County representative football and for providing high quality opportunities for as many young people as possible and this has directed his involvement and commitment in this area. He has continued the excellent work in this area by his predecessor, John Martin, and has worked closely with a number of Associations to ensure secure foundations for continued and enhanced activity. With the commitment to Members to drive a re-invigoration of rep football, Phil has also remained highly committed to the Player Passport scheme following his initiation of such discussions with Council Members in 2018/19.
