  • LEARNING from the BEST Gabriel Masfurroll
    LEARNING FROM THE BEST Gabriel Masfurroll Foreword I first met Gabriel Masfurroll in the seventies, when he was a teenager and a competitive swimmer. At that time, swimming played a very important part in my life because the European Championships held in Barcelona in 1970, in which I participated actively, were an excellent yardstick for the Olympic Games of 1992. Masfurroll was living in the Residencia Joaquín Blume in Barcelona, run by my friend Ricardo Sánchez, and we had good friends in common such as Santiago Esteva and Maria Paz Corominas, swimmers who in their day were key figures in Spanish sport. I shall never forget something ‘Gaby’, as his friends call him, said to me when he was still very young: “Mr. Samaranch, when I grow up I want to be like you and match your achievements. I also love sport and believe I can do a lot for it”. It comes as no surprise to me, then, to see Masfurroll holding positions of responsibility in leading sporting institutions. A few years later, I met up with “Gaby” again when he was head of the Quirón Clinic in Barcelona. Since then we have kept in touch on a regular basis. We have met and written to each other on numerous occasions and I recall a beautiful picture, on display at the headquarters of the Olympic Committee in Lausanne, which he gave me on one of his visits. I have followed his career very closely over these years and that phrase “when I grow up I want to be like you”, made me take a keen interest in both his personal and professional development.

  • Information for Fans Travelling to Amsterdam Information for Our
    Information for fans travelling to Amsterdam Information for our supporters travelling to the Netherlands for our Champions League semi- final, second leg against Ajax on Wednesday night (8 May). Kick-off is 9pm local time (8pm UK). Amsterdam Amsterdam is a popular destination that many fans will already be familiar with. If you’re travelling to the semi-final, however, it’s worth taking note of the information below as some arrangements, such as your routes around the city, and bars you can go to, may be different from those on a non-match day. The Johan Cruyff Arena The Johan Cruyff Arena is the main stadium in the Dutch capital. Opened in 1996, it is the largest stadium in the country. The stadium was previously known as the Amsterdam ArenA until this season, when it was officially renamed in honour of the legendary Ajax player Johan Cruyff. The stadium has a retractable roof combined with a grass surface. It has a capacity of 54,990. The stadium held the 1998 Champions League and 2013 Europa League finals and was used during Euro 2000. It will also host three group stage matches and one match in the round of 16 of Euro 2020. Arriving in Amsterdam Dam Square has been proposed by the police as a fan meeting point. From there you’ll need to get to nearby Centraal Station metro-station at around 18:30 to arrive at the stadium in time. Anyone without a ticket for the match is advised to stay in the city centre to watch the match on TV as there are no bars around the vicinity of the stadium.

  • Zinedine Zidane Voted Top Player by Fans
    Media Release Date: 22/04/2004 Communiqué aux médias No. 063 Medien-Mitteilung Zinedine Zidane voted top player by fans uefa.com users vote Zidane, Beckenbauer and Cruyff as top three The search to find European football's top player from the past 50 years ended today, Thursday 22 April, with the announcement that French international midfielder Zinedine Zidane has beaten off competition from German great Franz Beckenbauer and Dutch master Johan Cruyff, to be named number one by the users of uefa.com. The announcement, made at the UEFA Golden Jubilee ceremony, which opened the XXVIII Ordinary UEFA Congress in Limassol, provided much discussion among the assembled delegates and football representatives, especially with Beckenbauer in attendance. "Just to be in the top 20 is touching, it's great," said Zidane, who provided a message via video from the Spanish capital. "It is extraordinary to be voted one of the best European players of the past 50 years. I am a bit surprised, but I am very glad that people appreciate what we do on the pitch. “I am bracketed with those players that have made a difference in the last 50 years and when you play football, this is the reason you do it. For me, football is everything. It was my biggest passion and something I always knew how to do best. Even today, practically at the end of my career, I enjoy playing football. It is a privilege." No formal award was made to Zidane, although as part of the 50th anniversary celebrations of both UEFA and the Asian Football Confederation (AFC), UEFA will provide a donation to a Youth football development fund being administered by the AFC in order to help install an artificial turf pitch in East Timor, which will be named after the France and Real Madrid CF midfielder.

  • Reflections on the World Cup JAIME RAMIREZ
    Reflections on the World Cup JAIME RAMIREZ In 2018 the World Cup will be held in Russia and the buzz around the world is one of ecstasy, particularly for young countries that qualified for the first time, like Iceland and Panama. With World Cup fixtures, the Netherlands and the United States, failing to qualify for the final stage, there is talk of major change in both federations. The United States, in particular, had been mak- ing important strides in recent Cups, making it to the second round routinely. This setback will undoubtedly make U.S. Soccer come to terms with the real- ity that major changes need to be made in order for the team to return to the world stage, especially as the U.S. has submitted a joint bid (with Mexico and Canada) to host the 2026 World Cup. Recently, I heard a network announcer ask his colleagues, “Do you remem- ber the first World Cup that you saw?” It was interesting to hear recollections on what is generally recognized as the greatest sporting event on earth. Here are my own earliest recollections, and how they have shaped my life. The first World Cup that I watched was the 1966 event hosted by England (the last one televised in black and white). The Cup introduced me to “El Rey” Pele (Edson Arantes do Nascimento) from Brazil, the “Black Panther of Mo- zambique,” Eusebio from Portugal, and the Charlton brothers, Jackie and Bob- by, from the eventual winner England. I remember sitting on the living room floor of our house in Mexicali and hearing the announcer continually mention the name “Charlton.” As days went by and England advanced, it dawned on me that there were two Charltons, Bobby and Jackie—gradually, I was able to distinguish between the brothers.
