Taking a lead from FIFA, UEFA last week re-elected Aleksander Ceferin “by acclamation.”
In other words, no-one else stood to challenge Ceferin’s presidency and he will remain the second most powerful man in world football for at least another four years.
There were some encouraging developments at the congress in Lisbon, the Football Association’s Debbie Hewitt becoming a UEFA representative on the FIFA executive committee and Laura McAllister, from the FA of Wales, being appointed to the UEFA executive committee.
