Third Consecutive Re-Election to the FIFA Council for the President of CFA

Thursday, 3 April 2025

The Cyprus Football Association (CFA) expresses its deep satisfaction with the re-election of its President, Giorgos Koumas, to the FIFA Council, as a UEFA representative, for a third consecutive term—and notably, unopposed.

Giorgos Koumas, having fully met FIFA’s strict eligibility criteria and requirements, has been re-elected for a third consecutive time to the FIFA Council.

This development was confirmed today, Thursday, April 3, at the UEFA Annual Congress in Belgrade. It represents a highly prestigious and strategically important distinction for the CFA, its President, and Cypriot football as a whole.

Cyprus’ continued presence in the highest institutional bodies of world football enhances the country’s stature and highlights its active participation in the key decision-making centers of global football governance.

Giorgos Koumas, who has been leading the CFA since 2018, was first elected to the FIFA Council in 2019, re-elected in 2021, and with today’s re-election, he continues to serve as a steady voice for UEFA in the top decision-making body of global football administration.

His re-election without opposition confirms the trust and recognition he enjoys at both European and international levels.

By being part of the FIFA Council, Mr. Koumas also secures, ex officio, a seat on the UEFA Executive Committee, further strengthening Cyprus’ institutional role within European football.

Statement by CFA President Giorgos Koumas:

“It is a great personal honor, but also an honor for the CFA, for Cypriot football, and above all for our country, Cyprus. My re-election to the FIFA Council confirms the consistent work and responsible presence of Cyprus in international football affairs. We continue with dedication and consistency to further enhance the position and reputation of our country in world football.”

The CFA warmly congratulates its President on his new term and wishes him every success as he continues his important contribution to football in Cyprus, Europe, and the international football community.
