The German Football Association will nominate Bernd Neuendorf and Hans-Joachim Watzke for re-election to the international committees.
The association executive board decided this on Friday (December 13, 2024). This means that DFB President Neuendorf and Watzke, 1st DFB Vice President DFL, can be put back on the electoral list at the next Ordinary UEFA Congress on April 3, 2025 in Belgrade. There, mandates are granted for a further four-year term.
Neuendorf was elected as the European representative to the FIFA Council by the UEFA Congress in Lisbon on April 5, 2023, and Watzke has been sitting on the UEFA Executive Committee as the German representative since then. A national association can be represented in both committees if the two mandates are exercised by different people.
