On Sunday, in Berlin, the 17th European Championship concluded, with Spain returning home as champions. They defeated England 2-1 in the final, claiming their fourth and record-breaking title as champions of the Old Continent. Aleksander Čeferin, the president of the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA), also reflected on Euro 2024, highlighting the footballers who impressed him the most, including a Slovenian national team player!
“The players who impressed me the most in this tournament? There were many. Starting with the finalists. I am always impressed by Bellingham’s quality. He always seems tired to me… And of course, Kane. I think Rodri impressed me the most, the Spanish brain, never loses the ball, I don’t know how. Then there’s Kvaratskhelia and also one of the Slovenian players, Žan Karničnik. I’m sure you haven’t heard of him yet; he plays in the Slovenian league and had an excellent tournament. There were many players who shone,” Aleksander Čeferin praised, among others, Žan Karničnik, a player from Celje.
The former president of the Slovenian Football Association (NZS) also shared his opinion on the European Championship with 24 teams, which doesn’t please everyone. Aleksander Čeferin disagrees with the critics. “It’s more interesting this way. You could see Georgia and Slovenia, countries that might not have qualified if only 16 teams played in the Euros, but they deserve to be here. We saw that anyone can beat anyone. We have 24 fantastic teams, and if we added two or three more teams, the Euros would undoubtedly be stronger than the World Cup,” concluded Aleksander Čeferin.
