Ceferin to seek a fourth term as UEFA president

UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin has announced that he will stand for a fourth term, reversing his earlier decision to step down. The announcement comes after a period of uncertainty about the confederation’s leadership.

Ceferin, who has overseen UEFA since 2016, had previously signalled that he would not seek re‑election. His change of heart means he will now compete in the upcoming election.

The decision has implications for the future of European football, as it will determine who will guide the organisation through its next cycle of competitions and reforms.

With Ceferin back in the race, potential challengers will need to assess how to position themselves against an incumbent who has a record of experience and continuity.

The election is scheduled for 2025, and all eyes will be on how the vote unfolds and who will ultimately be elected to lead UEFA.
