Elections at the XXVI Ordinary UEFA Congress Fourteen Candidates for Seven Seats on UEFA's Executive Committee Media Release Route de Genève 46 Case postale Communiqué aux médias CH-1260 Nyon 2 Union des associations Tel. +41 22 994 45 59 européennes de football Medien-Mitteilung Fax +41 22 994 37 37 uefa.com [email protected] Date: 27/02/2002 No. 24 - 2002 Elections at the XXVI Ordinary UEFA Congress Fourteen candidates for seven seats on UEFA's Executive Committee A total of 14 prominent football administrators have submitted their candidature for the UEFA Executive Committee. Seven seats are available, six of them for four-year terms and the last one for a two-year term. The closing date for applications was midnight 25 February 2002. The elections will take place at the XXVI Ordinary UEFA Congress, to be held in Stockholm, Sweden on 25th April 2002. Lennart Johansson was earlier confirmed as the sole nominee for the post of UEFA President. Des Casey (Republic of Ireland), Frantisek Chvalovsky (Czech Republic), and Claude Simonet (France) will retire from the UEFA Executive Committee. Four other members of the UEFA Executive Committee will stand for re-election: Senes Erzik (Turkey), Dr. Viacheslav Koloskov (Russia), Giangiorgio Spiess (Switzerland) and Angel Maria Villar Llona (Spain). The terms of office of four European members of the FIFA Executive Committee: Lennart Johansson (Sweden), Antonio Matarrese (Italy), Per Ravn Omdal (Norway) and David Will (Scotland) will end at the coming FIFA Congress. In the case of Lennart Johansson, once confirmed by the Congress as UEFA President for a new four-year term of office, he would automatically be reconfirmed as a FIFA Vice-President. Per Ravn Omdal will stand for re-election and the UEFA Congress will also elect a new FIFA Vice- President to replace Antonio Matarrese. With regard to David Will, he represents the four British national associations who are allowed to have a permanent member in the FIFA Executive Committee. The occupation of his position will therefore have to be decided by these four associations, and not by the UEFA Congress. The full list of candidates for the various positions is attached.

  • CSR in Swedish Football
    CSR in Swedish football A multiple case study of four clubs in Allsvenskan By: Lina Nilsson 2018-10-09 Supervisors: Marcus Box, Lars Vigerland and Erik Borg Södertörn University | School of Social Sciences Master Thesis 30 Credits Business Administration | Spring term 2018 ABSTRACT The question of companies’ social responsibility taking, called Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), has been widely debated in research since the 1900s. However, the research connecting CSR to sport was not started until the beginning of the 2000s, meaning that there are still many gaps in sport research that has to be filled. One such gap is research on CSR in a Swedish football context. Accordingly, the purpose of the study was firstly to examine how and why Swedish football clubs – organised as non-profit associations or sports corporations – work with CSR, and secondly whether or not there was a difference in the CSR work of the two organisational forms. A multiple case study of four clubs in Allsvenskan was carried out, examining the CSR work – meaning the CSR concept and activities, the motives for engaging in CSR and the role of the stakeholders – in detail. In addition, the CSR actions of all clubs of Allsvenskan were briefly investigated. The findings of the study showed that the four clubs of the multiple case study had focused their CSR concepts in different directions and performed different activities. As a consequence, they had developed different competences and competitive advantages. Furthermore, the findings suggested that the motives for engaging in CSR were a social agenda, pressure from stakeholders and financial motives.

  • UEFA and the European Union, from Confrontation to Co-Operation?*
    UEFA and the European Union, from confrontation to co-operation?* Borja García Department of Politics, International Relations and European Studies Loughborough University [email protected] The governance structures of football have evolved overtime relatively independent of public authorities. The so-called pyramid of European football has been traditionally formed by the game’s world-wide governing body (FIFA) at the apex, the continental governing body (UEFA) in the middle and the national football associations, national football leagues and clubs at the bottom. This structure, however, has been challenged in the last two decades by a combination of massive commercialisation of the game, EU decisions aimed at liberalising football as a market-place, and the new demands of the stakeholders involved in the governance of professional football. This paper investigates the relationship between UEFA, as European football’s governing body, and the EU. It assesses the evolution of UEFA as a football governing body since the Bosman ruling (1995) until current initiatives such as the rules on locally-trained players. The paper focuses especially on the interaction between UEFA and the EU in the regulation of the footballers’ market, one of the most contentious interventions of European institutions in football. I argue that UEFA’s attitude towards the EU has changed completely in the last ten years. Whilst the EU was seen as a threat for UEFA in 1995, it is now considered a ‘long term strategic partner’. Three reasons can be identified for UEFA’s evolution. First, a pragmatic necessity to adapt to the application of EU law to football.

For the leaders of the national associations and of UEFA, there is no such thing as a quiet period either. This year, for example, UEFA’s member associations first had the delicate task of deciding who UEFA’s president would be for the next four years. Just a few months later, in April, it will be up to the UEFA Executive Committee to decide where EURO 2012 will take place. 2007 is also likely to be a crucial time in relations between European football and the European Union.

Each match is more than just a game. A match can and has represented old battles that never die completely. The Celtic–Rangers rivalry is more than a cross-town rivalry, but a representation of the unfinished political fight over the Protestant Reformation.2 The Barcelona–Real Madrid rivalry represents a long-running nationalist fight between Castilian and Catalonian Spaniards.3 Celtic’s long running rivalry with Rangers Football Club (FC) is just another part of the centuries-old rivalry between Northern Irish Catholics and Protestants.4 While one’s club is a representation of his or her nation and tribe, it is also a business, as shown by the globalization of the sport.5 And just like any business, occasionally there are financial issues.

  • UEFA Executive Committee Vienna Decisions
    Media Release Date: 10/11/2004 Communiqué aux médias No. 134 Medien-Mitteilung UEFA Executive Committee Vienna decisions Bidding timeline for UEFA EURO 2012 and approval for use of artificial turf The UEFA Executive Committee, chaired by UEFA President Lennart Johansson, has concluded its meeting in Vienna, Austria, with the following decisions: On the issue of the use of artificial turf the UEFA Executive Committee agreed to allow the introduction for use at both club and national level in UEFA competitions as from the 2005/06 season, provided the installed artificial turf product complies with the UEFA quality criteria. The Executive Committee also announced the bidding timeline for the UEFA EURO 2012. The new bid process will be split over two phases, the first phase resulting in a pre-selection of three bidders before the final decision on the Hosts Association(s) in a second phase. Associations interested in hosting the UEFA European Football Championship in 2012 will be able to request the official bidding documents from UEFA from 16 December 2004, after which the first phase pre-selection of three bidders will be made by the UEFA Executive Committee on 10 November 2005. The UEFA Executive Committee will then make the final decision on the Host Association(s) on 15 December 2006. Also discussed were the proposed measures to encourage the local training of players to support the development of national teams. The Executive Committee agreed that a firm proposal is targeted to be ready in time for the UEFA Congress in Tallinn, Estonia, in April 2005. Finally, the Executive Committee approved the format of the 2005/07 European Qualifying Competition for the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2007.

What happened on 29 May 1985 at the Heysel stadium in Brussels was the darkest hour in the history of the UEFA competitions. Disaster struck the final of the Champion Clubs’ Cup between Juventus and Liverpool before a ball had even been kicked, leaving 39 spectators dead and injuring many more during what should have been a celebration of football. Whilst this tragedy could have called into question the future of the major European football competitions, particularly the Champion Clubs’ Cup, it soon became clear that defeatism was not the best way to pay tribute to the victims.
