Rainer Koch Set To Take UEFA Executive Committee Position, FIFA Council Member Approved
January 8, 2020
Rainer Koch is set to become the next member of the UEFA Executive Committee and be elected for a one-year term.
The deadline for applications was the third of January, and Koch was the only person to apply to the UEFA Administration for the position of UEFA Executive Committee member to be elected for a one-year term.
Reinhard Grindel resigned in 2019 from his positions as a UEFA Executive Committee member and FIFA Council member, therefore elections for these two positions will be held at the 44th Ordinary UEFA Congress on 3 March 2020 in Amsterdam.
UEFA have also confirmed that the only candidate for the position of European member of the FIFA Council, to be elected for a three-year term (until 2023), at the Congress, Mr Noël Le Graët of France, has passed the eligibility check carried out by FIFA.
