Gerhard Mayer-Vorfelder elected as UEFA Vice-President

Under the chairmanship of UEFA President Michel Platini, who was elected to the presidency at UEFA's Congress in Dusseldorf last month, the committee voted in Senes Erzik (Turkey) as first vice-president, Geoffrey Thompson (England) as second vice-president, Angel María Villar Llona (Spain) as third vice-president and Gerhard Mayer-Vorfelder (Germany) as fourth vice-president.


Marios N Lefkaritis (Cyprus) was elected as UEFA treasurer and, in addition, was appointed as member of the FIFA Executive Committee. The seat in question within the world football body is the European seat vacated by Michel Platini, because the latter is taking up a seat as ex-officio FIFA vice-president in his capacity as President of UEFA.

Giangiorgio Spiess (Switzerland) and Friedrich Stickler (Austria) have been named as co-opted members of the UEFA Executive Committee until the end of UEFA EURO 2008™.

The committee also mandated the UEFA President and treasurer to continue with their contract negotiations with David Taylor, currently chief executive of the Scottish Football Association, to replace Lars-Christer Olsson, who resigned as UEFA Chief Executive last week.
