Aleksander Ceferin, the current Uefa president, is seeking an extension to his term at the helm of the football governing body. This move has sparked a split within Uefa, with Romanian chief Razvan Burleanu gaining support as a challenger. The proposed extension has raised accusations of undemocratic behavior and not being in the best interests of football. There are also comparisons to Gianni Infantino's term limit extension at FIFA, with Uefa seeking to clarify its statutes to potentially allow Ceferin to stay on beyond 2027.
Months after Infantino was cleared to bust through the 12-year term limit at FIFA, seems like his frenemy at UEFA Aleksander Ceferin has had the same idea. UEFA looking to clarify its statutes so he can stay on beyond 2027 if he wants. Anyone paying attention?
