UEFA
The Union des Associations Européennes de Football (UEFA) celebrates
its Jubilee this year. UEFA was founded on 15 June 1954, in Basle,
Switzerland. FIFA, the world body, was celebrating its own 50th
birthday, and many felt there was a need for a separate governing body
devoted exclusively to European football. When FIFA approved the
formation of continental football associations in 1953, UEFA's creation
was assured. |
