  • Kosovo was given UEFA membership on Tuesday (3rd May) and could now be fast-tracked into FIFA and the 2018 World Cup qualifying program.

    SOUNDBITE (English) Theodore Theodoridis, Acting UEFA General Secretary

    "I welcome our 55th member. As you saw, it was a very democratic process. A very open discussion between the national associations. We respect the result of the congress. And Kosovo are the 55th member."

    SOUNDBITE (English) Theodore Theodoridis, Acting UEFA General Secretary

    "I would like to start by thanking Karen Espelund for the magnificent job that she has done at UEFA. I not only refer to women's football - what she has done for women's football in UEFA - she was the first female member on the executive committee. Karen has done a great job. We need to keep her in the football family and the UEFA family. Regarding Florence (Hardouin), I know her from the time she was marketing director before she becomes general director of the French FA. We have always had very good cooperation. I very much look forward to her bringing a fresh (view) to the executive committee. I just wish that we could and we should probably have both."
