First, in March, at the next ordinary UEFA Congress, the terms of six members of the UEFA Executive Committee come to an end, three of whom are not standing for re-election. In addition, the seat that has been vacant since the death of Mathieu Sprengers has to be filled, as do two additional seats, giving the Executive Committee an unprecedented injection of new blood. Then in May, the current club competition cycle concludes. In the UEFA Champions League, it will be the last final to be played on a Wednesday, thereby ending a tradition that dates back to the creation of the competition. In the UEFA Cup, it will be the last final ever under that name before the competition becomes the UEFA Europa League and takes on a brand-new format. This year also heralds the end of an era for the UEFA Women’s Cup, which is set to change format and be linked to the UEFA Champions League, with the finals of the two competitions to take place in future in the same city during the same week. IN THIS ISSUE 2009 will therefore be a year of transition, but of progress too, with the work that has started in a number of areas continuing to be the focus of close attention. UEFA Champions League Three topics in particular will be top of the list of priorities in the months ahead. round of 16 03 First of all, there is the matter of financial fair play, aimed at ensuring that the principle UEFA Cup round of 32 06 of equal opportunities applies in the broadest sense possible in our competitions. Russia win the Secondly, underage players have to be protected from international transfers that rip European Under-21 them from their roots. This protection must go hand in hand with encouraging Futsal Tournament 07 training, as promoted in UEFA’s club competitions by the rule on locally trained players.

  • Temporada 2000 / 2001
    TEMPORADA 2000/2001 PRESENTACIÓN Es imprescindible que empiece la presentación de esta memoria correspondiente a la tempora- da 2000 / 2001 con un emocionado recuerdo a D. Antonio Baró Armengol, a cuyo cargo estuvo el mando del fútbol profesional español en estos últimos catorce años, en los cuales hemos vivido un extraordinario desarrollo de nuestra actividad y hemos asistido al éxito de nuestros clubes y S.A.D. en el concierto internacional. Su talante comprensivo y negociador han marcado una lí- nea a la que no podemos ni queremos renunciar, siempre con el reto de mejorar las condiciones en las que se desenvuelve nuestra función. La sucesión de Antonio Baró significa- ba, también, un momento decisivo para la Liga Nacional de Fútbol Pro- fesional que no había vivido ningunas elecciones a lo largo de su historia. Se trataba de mantener la unidad entre todos los clubes y dar un paso al fren- te hacia los nuevos tiempos, con una organización avanzada, eficaz y preparada para dejar oír su voz en los nuevos escenarios que se plantean en el nuevo siglo. Por ello, la mayoría de nuestros clubes y S.A.D. apostaron por una presidencia profesional y a plena dedicación que supone todo un reto personal y una gran ilusión para mí y para mi equipo. Con ese orgullo y esa ilusión nos hemos puesto a trabajar inmediatamente porque el tiempo apre- mia y la LFP quiere seguir siendo el referente del fútbol profesional europeo, una cotización que 4 nos hemos ganado a pulso en estos últimos años, tión, de manera que ninguna amenaza enturbie tanto en el terreno de juego como en los campos el trabajo bien hecho.

URL: https://www.cihefe.es/cuadernosdefutbol/2012/04/josep-lluis-nunez-i-clemente- barakaldo-1931-1%c2%aa-parte/ Resumen Date : 1 abril 2012 El Barça cumplió sus primeros 112 años de vida el pasado 29 de noviembre de 2011. Y en todo este tiempo, nada menos que durante veintidós años va a estar presidido por la misma persona, algo sin parangón en su historia, pues las presidencias más longevas - incluso sumando distintos períodos - no han excedido nunca de los 9 años. Tal honor ( que seguramente no alcanzará jamás ningún otro dirigente blaugrana ) le corresponde a un hombre que no ha nacido en Cataluña, aunque haya desarrollado allí, y concretamente en la Ciudad Condal, la mayor parte de su vida profesional y su trayectoria vital. José Luis Núñez va a ser el primer presidente barcelonista netamente democrático, entendido el término en el sentido de haber sido elegido por sufragio universal de todos los socios mayores de edad y con una determinada antiguedad en el Club, tal como correspondía a los nuevos aires que al país le trajo la Transición, en mayo de 1978, once meses después de las primeras elecciones libres en cuarenta años tras el final del Franquismo, y cuando aun se estaba elaborando la Constitución. Sistemáticamente reelegido - a veces sin oposición - en los años 81, 85, 89, 93 y 97, dimitió sorprendentemente de su cargo en mayo de 2000, cansado de recibir críticas y ser blanco de distintos movimientos de oposición a su gestión.

  • 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.
