A year also separates Düsseldorf and Zagreb, my first year as UEFA president. I do not want to go over or even just summarise what has been achieved in that time – such reports tend to be exercises which aim to present achievements in the best light possible. Words are vital when it comes to presenting a manifesto, but then it is the deeds that matter, and I hope that everyone has been able to see for themselves that the manifesto I presented at the UEFA Congress in Düsseldorf was not simply a list of good intentions but a programme that we got down to right away, for the IN THIS ISSUE sake of the unity of European football and the defence of its interests.

La presencia del Hansa Rostock como último equipo que defendió el pabellón de Alemania Oriental era la confirmación de la unión de los dos estados a lo largo del 1991. Era el reflejo más inmediato de los trascendentes cambios políticos que sacudieron a Europa. También el Dinamo de Kiev fue el último campeón soviético porque como consecuencia de la desintegración de la Unión Soviética se dio paso a un ente deportivo internacional fantasma, la Comunidad de Estados Independientes, para dar espacio legal de manera circunstancial a la nueva conformación de Europa. Yugoslavia también empezaba a desmoronarse como república federal y se registraban los primeros movimientos separatistas.

  • Referee Appointed for Semi-Final in London
    Media Release Date: 03/05/2004 Communiqué aux médias No. 069 Medien-Mitteilung Referee appointed for semi-final in London The UEFA Referees Committee today announced that Swedish referee Anders Frisk will officiate at the second leg of the 2003/04 UEFA Champions League semi-final between Chelsea FC and AS Monaco to be played at Stamford Bridge in London on Wednesday 5 May, kicking-off at 19.45 local time (20.45 CET). His assistant referees will be Kenneth Petersson and Peter Ekström, while the Fourth Official will be Peter Fröjdfeldt. All four members of the team are from Sweden. Anders Frisk, 41, has been a referee for 26 years and won his FIFA badge 13 years ago. His first major tournament was EURO 96 in England, where he was the referee of the 3-3 draw between Russia and the Czech Republic in Liverpool. Four years later, he officiated at three EURO 2000 matches, including the final between France and Italy in Rotterdam. The previous games had been Portugal’s 3-2 win against England in Eindhoven and the Netherlands’ victory over France in Amsterdam by the same scoreline. At the 2002 FIFA World Cup finals, he handled the matches between Brazil and China (4-0) followed by Spain and Republic of Ireland (3-2 for Spain in a penalty shoot-out after a 1-1 draw). Anders Frisk has handled five UEFA Champions League fixtures this season and, curiously, not one has ended as a home win. The other curiosity is that, even though this is his 111th international match, he has visited London only three times – once for England’s 2-0 defeat by the Netherlands in August 2001.
