UEFA to vote in new president on September 14

Basel (Switzerland) (AFP) – UEFA will vote to elect a new president to replace disgraced Frenchman Michel Platini on September 14, European football’s governing body announced Wednesday.

UEFA has been without a president since Platini was forced to resign after a sports tribunal rejected his final appeal against his ban from football over a suspect $2.0 million payment he received from FIFA.

Theodore Theodoridis, who was appointed UEFA’s general secretary on an interim basis in early March, said: “The executive committee meeting will be an elective meeting and it will take place on September 14.”
