UEFA presidential candidates meet V4 soccer fed heads in Budapest

The meeting was also attended by the soccer federation heads of Austria, Lichtenstein and Switzerland, the Hungarian Football Association (MLSZ) said on its website.

Sandor Csanyi, the president of MLSZ, told the portal that the three candidates, Spain’s Angel Maria Villar, Slovenia’s Aleksandar Ceferin and Dutch soccer federation chief Michael van Praag, each gave a detailed presentation on their programme.

Csanyi said it was useful for the federations present to learn about the candidates’ plans directly from the candidates themselves. He underlined the importance of establishing a sustainable balance in European soccer, both in cup competitions and among national teams.

UEFA’s next president will be chosen at the association’s congress to be held in Athens on September 14.
