71 years ago today, on June 15, 1954 (May 15, 1954 in the lunar calendar), UEFA was established. In 2011, UEFA held its annual head coach summit, attended by famous coaches such as Ferguson and Guardiola, and Mourinho was absent due to suspension. The Union of European Football Associations (English: UnionofEuropeanFootballAssociations, abbreviated as UEFA), referred to as UEFA or UEFA, referred to as UEFA in Hong Kong and Macao, and UEFA in South East Asia, is responsible for managing all football affairs in the European region and representing European football institutions (including all European countries and countries in Asia or across Eurasia such as Russia, Turkey, Israel, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Cyprus and Kazakhstan). UEFA is one of the six continental football federations under FIFA. Due to the fact that many of the world's top players gather in Europe because of the high salaries of European clubs (especially clubs such as Spain, Portugal, England, the Netherlands, Italy, Germany, France, etc.), UEFA's influence, wealth and power in the world are also the highest among the six major football confederations. Many of the world's football powers are also members of UEFA. In the 2006 World Cup round of 32, 14 national teams were from Europe, and 15 countries ranked in the top 20 in the FIFA world rankings. UEFA was established in Basel, Switzerland on June 15, 1954. It was headquartered in Paris, France, and moved to Bern, Switzerland in 1959. Ebbe Schwartz became the first president of UEFA, and Henri Delaunay, the founder of the European Football Championship, was the general secretary. The headquarters moved to Nyon, Switzerland in 1995. At the beginning of its establishment, there were only 25 member associations. At present, UEFA has 55 member associations. The smallest member is Gibraltar, with a population of only 30,000. In 2011, UEFA held an annual head coach summit, attended by Ferguson, Guardiola and other famous coaches, Mourinho was absent due to suspension.
