CANDIDATE FOR UEFA PRESIDENTOUR GOAL: FOOTBALL

UEFA is currently doing well. That fact is evidenced by the many valuable objectives achieved over the last few years, as a result of the work and effort of all of us in European football. Even though the list is fortunately extensive, we may highlight the following achievements that are particularly important: collective sale of commercial rights for qualifiers for the European Championship, World Cup and friendly matches between national teams, increasing the number of football teams participating in the European Championship Finals to 24, the creation of the Nations League from 2018, the creation of the Professional Football Strategy Council, the establishment and consolidation of the UEFA Club Licensing and the Financial Fair Play, the integration of club representatives and women in the UEFA Executive Committee, the creation and improvement of the current formats in European club competitions turning them into the best in the world, the huge development of women's football, futsal and beach soccer across Europe, getting and obtaining economic resources for the development programmes implemented through national associations, and the construction of the new UEFA exemplary headquarters in Nyon.

I am very proud and pleased to have been able to contribute with my work, and from my position as member of the UEFA Executive Committee and President of one of its member associations, to achieving all these objectives, that have undoubtedly helped to improve and develop football across Europe.

We will face many challenges in the future, yet I firmly believe that the goals achieved in recent years are a strong basis to face them. My view on the future of UEFA and European football is based on three primary pillars:

I. The Evolution and Protection of our Organization towards the best corporate governance practices, transparency, and democratic participation, that have to be established on the principles of unity, solidarity and balance between all actors and areas of football.

II. The Continued Development and Promotion of Football throughout Europe, ensuring equal opportunities for all who wish to play or participate in it and who wish to perform any other related function.

III. Protect the Game and the Players, safeguarding its competitions, as the base for the credibility of our sport and the respect for fair play, the effective integration of all those who play or participate in it, regardless of their beliefs, race or gender, and the defence of players' health.

INTRODUCTION

WITH YOUR SUPPORT I AM COMMITTED TO LEAD THIS

HUGE TEAM, UEFA, TOWARDS A NEW STAGE, WORKING

ACTIVELY FOR FOOTBALL ALL OVER EUROPE, WITH THE SAME COMMITMENT AND

ENTHUSIASM THAT I HAVE HAD OVER MY LIFE.

PERSONAL DETAILSI was born in Bilbao (Biscay, Basque Country, Spain) on January 21, 1950. I am married and have 3 sons. I have a Degree in Law from the University of Deusto and have been a practising lawyer since I retired from football in 1981 until I was first appointed as President of the Real Federación Española de Fútbol in 1988.

PLAYERI began my career as a football player like any other child in school and the streets of my neighbourhood. I then played in the youth categories of several teams in Biscay until I became a professional player in First Division in the Athletic Club de Bilbao. Throughout my career, I have played more than 400 matches with my lifelong club, for over 11 seasons, in the competitions in my country and UEFA. With my club I was Champion of the Spanish Cup in 1973, and finalist of the old UEFA Cup in 1978. I had the pleasure of playing with the Spanish National Football Team for five years.

This unforgettable stage of my life has provided me with great knowledge of the game and its values.

MANAGING POSITIONS IN MY COUNTRYI started to hold leading positions during my stage as professional player, when I founded, along with other colleagues, the football players’ Union in my country, where I held the position of Vice-President. While I was playing Premier Division football, I studied Law. A few months after hanging up my boots, at 32 years old, I was appointed President of the Football Federation of my province (Biscay), combining this activity with my work as a lawyer. During this period, my first responsibility was to organize and develop amateur, children and youth football. In 1988, I was appointed President of the Real Federación Española de Fútbol RFEF, position that I still hold today.

My position as an official in Spain has given me vast knowledge on both local structures of amateur and professional football. It has also given me the opportunity to support and help, through RFEF, those national associations that have so requested. Lastly, I am very proud to have contributed during this period to a large increase in the number of amateur clubs, players, referees and coaches in my country, and to have participated in the most brilliant period for Spanish national teams and clubs throughout its history.

INTERNATIONAL MANAGING POSITIONSMy career holding international leading positions began when I was elected member of the UEFA Executive Committee in 1992. In 1998 I was elected member of the FIFA Executive Committee. During this whole period I have had several responsibilities in the different Committees of both entities. My work in UEFA and FIFA has given me extensive experience and knowledge on their functioning and on the principles to be followed in them. I am very pleased for having managed, through my activity in UEFA and FIFA, a valuable number of personal relationships with all other confederations and with many national associations.

The complete version of my CV can be found at the end of this programme.

FOOTBALL IS MY LIFE. I HAVE GONE THROUGH MANY STAGES IN FOOTBALL THAT HAVE OFFERED ME THE EXPERIENCE AND KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED TO FACE THE NEW CHALLENGE OF BECOMING PRESIDENT OF UEFA.

FIGHT AGAINST RACISM, RACIAL OR GENDER DISCRIMINATION

We must follow the line taken over the last few years, in order to achieve the complete eradication of discrimination and racism in European football. In order to do so, collaboration with FARE is to be main-tained. But at the same time, rights of national associations are to be respected, and fair procedures have to be established. Thus, we must work to improve the existing system to detect these actions during matches and support national associations to intensify local education in this matter.

DOPING

UEFA must continue to fight against doping in European football. This will be achieved through training provided to doctors in charge of doping control and through prevention, promoting education on this issue for football players from a very early stage through national associations and clubs.

DISCIPLINE

It is important to review and modify UEFA's Disciplinary Regulations to:

• Establish a system to guarantee that the members of the disciplinary bodies represent the diversity of all our national associations across Europe.• The disciplinary sanctions are adjusted to the economic reality of clubs and national associations.

Likewise, it is important to collaborate with national associations, clubs and stakeholders, especially with groups of supporters, to avoid behaviours that do not comply with the statutory and regulatory objectives of UEFA.

INTEGRITY OF COMPETITIONS AND MATCH-FIXING

The integrity of our competitions should continue to be protected and we must fight against match-fixing and, ultimately, against any behaviour that aims to influence the outcome of football matches, both at European level and at national associations level. This can only be achieved by working together with local authorities and EUROPOL, with which a memorandum was signed two years ago, and together with our collaborators to detect fraud in sports betting. Likewise, we should work closely with national governments so that, in the near future, match fixing constitutes an offence in all countries with UEFA member associations.
