Sports merit and solidarity
“At UEFA, we have spent years working on the reform of competitions to adapt them to the new times, generating more wealth than ever, without neglecting any class, and doing so in accordance with the fundamentals of solidarity and respect for sporting merit.”
UEFA organizer
“In this sense, our firmness and conviction is total. UEFA is the only vehicle capable of structuring the transformation of football to face new challenges. Over the years, we have proven to be an organism that has known how to adapt and offer responses according to all sensitivities. We will continue to listen to everyone, and seek the general good and not just that of a few ”.
Modest football
“Nearly 90% of the income generated by UEFA goes back to football, especially to the most modest and to the grassroots, making it possible for the ball to roll wherever this economic injection is most needed so that football is present in every corner of the continent”
Values
“I am sure that the values of sport will continue to be present in European competitions. UEFA guarantees it, nobody else can do it ”.
