Aleksander Ceferin was re-elected unopposed for a third term of four years as president of UEFA at a meeting of European football’s governing body in Lisbon on Wednesday.

“I would like to thak you from the bottom of my heart for your unanimous support. It really means a lot to me,” Ceferin told delegates at the UEFA Congress in the Portuguese capital.
