UEFA presidential candidates meet V4 soccer fed heads in Budapest

An official meeting between representatives of the national football associations which make up the ‘Visegrád countries’ took place today for the fifth time, a technical conference at which they assessed the three candidates for the vacant UEFA presidency who were also present.

At this extraordinary meeting of the Visegrád Six which is comprised of the football associations of Czech Republic, Poland, Austria, Slovakia and Hungary, MLSZ President Sándor Csányi opened by stating that they were gathered there to facilitate the opportunity for the three candidates to introduce their manifestos in front of the leaders of the six countries’ football governing bodies.

The Visegrád Six’s stated aims are to strengthen the region’s football and the technical cooperation within it as well as searching together for solutions to the challenges facing each association. The cooperation primarily focuses on youth development, women’s football and refereeing but this year precedence was given to asssessment of the candidates for European football’s most important election.
