De Klassieker is eind jaren zestig, begin jaren zeventig een botsing tussen twee Europese topclubs en vaak ongemeen spannend.. Ná de kampioenswedstrijd. op. Het stadion – wonderschoon samenspel van staal en be- ton – vloog de grond uit. Rotterdam-Zuid huilde van vreugde en trots toen het in 1937 werd geopend met een defilé van alle leden op het veld en met een wedstrijd tegen Beerschot. En Feyenoord spaarde verder. In de kortst mogelijke tijd loste IN ROTTERDAM-ZUID STAAT DE KUIP het de lening van Dirk van Beuningen af. In de zwarte oorlogs- jaren kocht het zo ongeveer alle uitgegeven aandelen op. Als Feyenoords bij leven reeds legendarische ere-voorzitter Cor ALS EEN ONVERGANKELIJKE TEMPEL Kieboom – penningmeester-knakenpoetser in de tijd voor de stadionbouw – nu naar De Kuip kijkt, zegt hij tegen me: ‘Jen, met dit stadion zijn wij de rijkste club van Europa.’ Inderdaad: Feyenoord is onschatbaar rijk.

031129 156 UEFA Jubilee
Media Release Date: 29/11/2003 Communiqué aux médias No. 156 Medien-Mitteilung UEFA officially launches its Golden Jubilee Year European Football Union to celebrate its 50 year anniversary on 15 June 2004 UEFA today officially launched its Jubilee Year within the framework of the Final Draw for UEFA EURO 2004™. UEFA was founded at a meeting in Basle, Switzerland, on 15 June 1954, during the 1954 World Cup. Delegates representing 30 countries attended that meeting in the Hotel Euler. Shortly afterwards, Ebbe Schwartz of Denmark was named UEFA’s first president. Just one year later, the new UEFA fulfilled one of its most urgent priorities by introducing the European Champion Clubs’ Cup (the first five editions of which were won by Real Madrid), thanks largely to journalists from the L’Equipe newspaper. Another objective was met when the first edition of the European Championship was held in 1960. UEFA’s destiny in the decades since then has been largely mirrored by the evolution of these and other competitions. This story, through the subsequent presidencies of Gustav Wiederkehr (Switzerland), Artemio Franchi (Italy), Jacques Georges (France) and Lennart Johansson (Sweden), is traced in a new book to be published on the occasion of the Jubilee UEFA Congress in Cyprus in April 2004. The commemorative books are one of many special Jubilee activities planned during the year 2004. UEFA’s exact 50th birthday, on 15 June, will fall during UEFA EURO 2004TM in Portugal, and will be marked accordingly. To mark UEFA’s Golden Jubilee, each of the 52 member associations has been invited to nominate its most outstanding player of the past 50 years.
