Aleksander Ceferin says stop: "I will not run again"
At La Maison de La Mutualitè in Paris on the occasion of the 48° UEFA Ordinary Congress, è the Statutes were amended, establishing the presence of at least two female members on the Executive Committee. While not removing the three-term limit for the president, the new Bylaws make it clear that the rule does not take into account terms begun before July 2017.
UEFA President Aleksander Ceferin has, however, announced that he will not run again in 2027: "I didn't say that – he explained – because I didn't want to influence Congress. I have a good life in soccer, but also outside. I decided about six months ago that I will not run for office in 2027, I have been away from my family for about six years and will be away for another three. I communicated this decision first to my family and then to friends and colleagues".
"I am tired of the Covid, of this meaningless Super League project and of those who proclaim themselves as moral authorities," added the UEFA number one. In any case, I can say I am happy and proud to be the captain of a ship that has weathered the storm well and will continue to do so in the next three years, to be at the head of a football community that has never been so united.
