UEFA president Aleksander Čeferin will seek a fourth term at the helm of the European football organization. He announced his intention on Thursday to representatives of 55 national football associations at a meeting in Berlin. The elections are scheduled to take place in April next year. BBC News ↗
Čeferin has led UEFA since 2016. If delegates support his candidacy, he would continue in the position even after 2027. The Slovenian official had previously indicated that he was not interested in another term, as he felt tired. Later, however, he changed his decision. sport.sk ↗
His renewed candidacy is related to a change in UEFA's statutes, which were approved at the congress in Paris in 2024. This amendment allows Čeferin to run for another term despite his longer tenure in the position. teraz.sk ↗
At the same time, Čeferin will not stand against FIFA president Gianni Infantino in a direct contest for leadership of world football. However, his decision may signal the continuation of UEFA's resistance to some of the FIFA chief's moves and ambitions. The European football organization will thus remain under his leadership during the period of further negotiations on the direction of international football. n-tv ↗
The outcome will be decided by delegates of UEFA's member associations at the electoral congress. Until then, Čeferin will continue to serve as president of the organization, which he has led since 2016. sport.cz ↗
