Tournament Capacity: 4,183 Find out more here History Just as at senior Women’s level, Germany have been the nation to beat in the UEFA European Women's Under-19 Championship though in recent years their dominance has waned. They amassed five titles between 2000 and 2007 before claiming a sixth in 2011, but have since failed to qualify twice. U18 origins The tournament began life as an Under-18 competition in 1997/98, Denmark and Sweden lifting the first two titles before Germany gave warning of things to come, taking back-to-back honours with victories over Spain and Norway.

And as the UEFA Cup moves into its final stages, Romanian, Russian and Ukrainian clubs are still in the running in the round of 16. On the field and behind the scenes, football-related activities are booming in Eastern Europe, and at the same time, huge efforts are being made to improve football infrastructure, including in terms of stadium renovation and construction. This vigour is unquestionably a happy phenomenon for European football as a whole. The fact that these associations are keen to and in a position to successfully organise UEFA events, be they tournaments or congresses, shows the soundness and effectiveness of the policy introduced by UEFA in the early 1990s, following the political upheaval in Eastern Europe, when UEFA decided to initiate assistance programmes to help the new football associations born out of that upheaval to fit into and achieve Western standards.

Both these tasks were far-reaching and voluminous. Among other challenges, UEFA had to help find a solution to the issue of international transfers, cope with the complex demands of organising competitions, define the format for the club competitions and defend the centralised marketing of the rights to the UEFA Champions League. In terms of projects, we launched the club licensing system, created our subsidiary UEFA New Media, set up a new structure for marketing opera- tions and moved forward with our study aimed at allowing the use of artificial-turf surfaces in UEFA competitions.

  • Psychological Stress Factors and Their Influence on the Outcome of Penalty Shootouts in Soccer
    University of Amsterdam BACHELOR THESIS Business Administration Psychological stress factors and their influence on the outcome of penalty shootouts in soccer submitted by Michael Lopez Diaz Student Number: 11867884 Date of submission: June 21st, 2020 Supervisor: drs. Rob van Hemert Statement of Originality This document is written by Student Michael Lopez Diaz who declares to take full responsibility for the contents of this document. I declare that the text and the work presented in this document are original and that no sources other than those mentioned in the text and its references have been used in creating it. The Faculty of Economics and Business is responsible solely for the supervision of completion of the work, not for the contents. 2 Abstract This research project aims to investigate the effects of presumed psychological stress factors on the outcome of soccer penalty shootouts. Therefore, the following research question is asked: Do the psychological stress factors Competition, Kick Number, Round of Competition, and Decisiveness of Kick have a significant impact on the outcome of a penalty shootout in soccer, and if so, which impact is the biggest? To answer the research question, an online data collection was conducted, to create a sample from penalty shootouts from various competitions. The results of the study show that no significant correlations between the dependent and independent variables, which are the subject of the research question, can be proven. Based on these findings, it is recommended that other variables are considered in the research question, which could prove a possible influence of psychological stress factors on the outcome of penalty shootouts in soccer.

As the new UEFA club competition season gets under way, it offers the UEFA Super Cup match, a gala evening, draws and numerous working meetings. It is also an opportunity for discussions and exchange of views in a more relaxed and informal atmosphere than the normal pressure of compe- tition allows. This year, the Monaco programme includes an additional event, the first plenary meeting of the European Club Forum which has just been set up by UEFA to forge more fruitful relations with the clubs taking part in our competitions. This meeting will be taking place six weeks after the UEFA Execu- tive Committee decided to change the UEFA Champions League format from 2003/04 by abolishing the second group stage and replacing it with direct knock-out rounds.
