55-year-old unanimously elected for the 2023-27 period in the 47th UEFA Congress
Aleksander Ceferin of Slovenia was unanimously re-elected as UEFA president for the period 2023-27 at the 47th UEFA Congress on Wednesday in Lisbon.
The 55-year-old, who was the sole candidate, thanked delegates for their support in his acceptance speech. “It’s a great honor, but it’s also a great responsibility to… football,” he said. “I will do my best not to let you down.”
Ceferin has been UEFA’s seventh president since 2016 when he took over for the suspended former French international Michel Platini. He was later re-elected in 2019.
