Uefa President Aleksander Ceferin to Stand for Fourth Term
· Sports · BBC Sport
Uefa president Aleksander Ceferin has announced he will stand for a fourth term as the head of European football's governing body. Ceferin informed delegates of his decision during a meeting of all 55 national association chiefs in Berlin. The move reverses his previous insistence in February 2024 that he would not seek re-election. His initial election took place in 2016, and his tenure has included controversy over Uefa changing its statutes to permit a fourth term. Ceferin has ruled out running against Fifa president Gianni Infantino but is working to find a unified candidate for the upcoming Fifa presidential election in March.
Why it matters
Ceferin's decision secures leadership continuity at Uefa amid an ongoing institutional rivalry with Fifa ahead of its presidential election.
