Aleksander Ceferin could remain UEFA boss until 2031, longer than previously thought. The Slovenian took over the post in September 2016 after Michel Platini resigned in the middle of an electoral period.
The 55 member associations voted to adjust the rule limiting term limits. Only the English association voted against it. According to UEFA, the adjustment was necessary for legal reasons. The German Football Association (DFB) had already publicly pledged its support to Cefer in before the vote. There were also critical voices within UEFA.
