Aleksander Čeferin has been elected as UEFA's seventh President at the Extraordinary UEFA Congress in Athens.

The 48-year-old Slovenian received 42 votes from UEFA's member associations, against 13 votes for the other candidate, Michael van Praag (Netherlands).

Čeferin was elected as Football Association of Slovenia president in 2011. He has also served as a second and third vice-chairman of the UEFA Legal Committee since 2011. 

 

Congratulations and Good Luck!!!!

Serbia and Scotland were supposed to play a match for first place in qualifications for U19 EC (women's football), but apparently the players from  were drunk day before and they were not able to play match yesterday (I saw this is Serbian medias)and match are suspended (they said that players are sick and they are not able to play). UEFA launched an investigation.
