South American Cup 06 UEFA competitions on artificial turf 14 Grassroots football PHOTO: FLASH PRESS in the spotlight 09 News from member associations 16 Mini-pitchesEditorial for the future UEFA’s Golden Jubilee year is coming to a close, but it is still too early to assess the activities organised in its honour, since there are still one or two events going on, such as the exhibition inaugurated at the European Parliament in Brussels, which is now on show at the National Football Museum in Preston in the northwest of England. Different UEFA member associations still have celebrations programmed as well. However, we can already conclude that the project to provide UEFA’s member associations with mini-pitches has been a huge success. This large-scale venture is actually part of UEFA’s HatTrick programme, but UEFA decided to give it an initial boost by offering a mini-pitch to each of its 52 member associations in its Golden Jubilee year. The choice of such a gift is of great symbolic value. It emphasises that although a fiftieth anniversary is an opportunity to look back at the past, UEFA is above all keen to take care of the future of the game and to ensure its continued popularity. With this goal in mind, these mini-pitches provide young people, particularly those living in built-up urban areas, with an appropriate and safe place where they can play football to their heart’s content, as previous generations used to be able to do in the street, in yards or on makeshift pitches. UEFA’s aim of making football accessible to as many as possible is also evident in its regular activities, notably by way of its grassroots programme, which has just been given fresh impetus by organisation of the 5th UEFA Grassroots Course in Norway. A tree will only produce lovely foliage if its roots are strong and healthy. EURO 2004 proved this summer that football’s foliage is thriving. Now all we have to do is to continue to take care of the roots to ensure that the greenery stays in such good condition!

There were myriad reasons for this, from Nordic noir to gastronomy via architecture, craft beer and even knitwear. Football fans of a certain age wondered what took everyone else so long to discover this. In the mid- 1980s, Denmark were the most interesting and perhaps the best football team in the world, an almost unprecedented achievement for a country with a population of only five million. ‘What Denmark did was amazing,’ said Diego Maradona. ‘They were like a bullet train.’ They made history by playing football from the future: a fast-forward version of the Dutch Total Football that had charmed the world in the 1970s, and with the same unashamedly attacking intent. Denmark’s style made children fall in love with football and reminded adults why they had fallen in love with it in the first place.

Review of the EURO 2004 qualifiers 06 News from member PHOTO: FLASH PRESS Germany win the Women’s World Cup 09 associations 17 AchievingEditorial the right balance The final tournament of the European Championship really started to take definite shape on 11 October, when Portugal found out the names of ten of their potential opponents and football fans were presented with the outline of what already shows all the signs of being a particularly mouth-watering line-up. Interest in the competition will be maintained in November with the play-offs, which promise to be exciting and open, and could give the final field of participants a very interesting look indeed. After these deciders, the draw for the final round will well and truly put us on tenterhooks in anticipation of the tournament itself and the fever will continue to mount until the opening match kicks off on 12 June 2004. For the supporters of the national teams which have not managed to qualify for next year’s European Championship final round, the draw for the 2006 World Cup qualifying competition at the beginning of December will give them renewed reason to hope and dream.
