Aleksander Ceferin, president of UEFA, has been threatened by severe allegations just days after being re-elected to the post until 2027. Slovenian media outlet Prava has published an investigation exposing a lie on his CV.
Ceferin, who became UEFA president in 2016, allegedly lied about a specific point on his CV. Had it been known then, the deception would have invalidated his election as the figurehead of European football’s governing body. Prava reveals that Ceferin stated on his CV that he was a board member of Olimpija Bezigrad (now NK Olimpija Ljubljana), a club in the Slovenian capital, between 2006 and 2011. However, the media report suggests that this is untrue.
The revelation raises red flags because of the possible consequences. The matter is serious since UEFA states that one must have carried out such work to aspire to its presidency. It is one of the points necessary to meet the experience requirements to be eligible for the position that governs continental football. Ceferin was promoted to the UEFA presidency in 2016.
Prava also brings to light Ceferin’s CV, which can be found on the Slovenian Football Federation’s website, which could further aggravate the case. Currently, the investigation has only been replicated by other media in other European countries. UEFA has not provided any comment.

Aleksander Ceferin elected as UEFA President till 2027
Ceferin was re-elected by acclamation as UEFA president for a new four-year term until 2027 at a Congress in Lisbon. Much like the re-election of Gianni Infantino, Ceferin was the only candidate.
“I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your unanimous support. It really means a lot to me,” Ceferin told delegates after being re-elected by acclamation at the UEFA Congress in Lisbon. “It is a great honour but mainly it is a great, great responsibility, towards you and towards football.”
Ceferin recently defeated Infantino’s proposal to hold the World Cup every two years. His re-election comes after he successfully fought off the breakaway Super League project during his second term and will now be in charge of implementing a new Champions League format beginning next year.
The Super League, on the other hand, is far from dead. Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Juventus are all continuing to pursue the project and have filed a European Court of Justice lawsuit against UEFA and FIFA. They have accused the governing bodies of misuse of authority by threatening to expel clubs and players interested in joining a breakaway league.
