"UEFA President Ceferin Stands Firm on Term Limits Amid Controversy"
Originally Published 1 year ago — by The Mirror
The Football Association stood alone in voting against a controversial reform at the UEFA congress, which would have allowed president Aleksander Čeferin to run for an unprecedented fourth term. Despite the FA's opposition, the reform passed with overwhelming support from other member states. Čeferin later announced that he had decided not to run for another term, citing the need for fresh leadership and time with his family. The reform was part of a wider package that included increasing the number of women on UEFA's executive committee and clarifying consequences for potential breakaway competitions. The vote is seen as a rare breaking from ranks within UEFA, and comes amid ongoing disquiet within the governing body.
