Dr. Joe Mifsud elected Vice President of UEFA
MFA president Dr Joe Mifsud was elected as a UEFA vice-president during the
UEFA Congress in Copenhagen , Denmark .
The elections formed part of the XXXIII Ordinary Congress of UEFA. The vote
was taken on a proposal of the UEFA President Michel Platini. He will serve
in that post for the coming two years. Dr. Mifsud is a longstanding of the
UEFA Executive Committee but this is the first time that a Maltese has been
elected to such a senior position in the European governing body.
Dr. Mifsud was elected to the UEFA Executive Committee for the first time in
1994 during a UEFA Ordinary Congress held in Vienna and has been re-elected
ever since, the last time being in 2007 during a UEFA Ordinary Congress in
Dusseldorf, Germany, for a period of four years, until 2011.
During the meeting of the newly-formed UEFA Executive Committee, held
immediately at the end of the Ordinary Congress today in Copenhagen , the
Executive Committee, on the proposal of president Michel Platini,
unanimously elected Dr Joe Mifsud as one of the UEFA vice-presidents for the
coming two years.
Signing of the Referees Convention
Malta has signed the UEFA Convention on Referees. MFA president Dr Joe
Mifsud and general secretary Joe Gauci were the signatories in the presence
of UEFA president Michel Platini and Patrick Fenech a member of the MFA
Referees Board
This was a red letter day for Maltese referees as it ensures that the
advances made in this sector will not only be consolidated but will also
flourish. Joining the Convention will give Maltese referees more
technological aides to continue to improve their performance both locally
and in the international sphere. Every level of the refereeing sector, from
the very junior to those at international level, will benefit from the help
provided by UEFA to those members who are accepted into the Convention.
