During the meeting, UEFA President Aleksander Ceferin once again congratulated İbrahim Ethem Hacıosmanoğlu on his election as TFF President and wished him success in his new role.

Ideas were exchanged regarding projects that could be implemented in line with the cooperation between the TFF and UEFA, and the possibilities of hosting new UEFA organizations in our country were discussed.

The opening of a UEFA office in Turkey, which was described as a leader in its region, was also on the meeting's agenda.
