UEFA Executive Committee visit National Football Museum
On Sunday 19th June
The National Football Museum was delighted to welcome the UEFA Executive Committee
who chose to visit before the European Women's Championship Final later in the
day.
The high ranking officials included UEFA CEO Lars-Christer Olsson, FA Chief
Executive Brian Barwick and Chairman Geoff Thompson who all enjoyed a private
viewing of the world's greatest football Museum.
Football legend and National Football Museum Hall of Fame Inductee, Sir Tom
Finney, was accompanied by Councillor Bhikhu Patel, Mayor of Preston, who both
helped museum staff welcome the Executive Committee on arrival.
The visit by such senior officials is further testament to the fabulous reputation
The National Football Museum has developed as one of the world's leading sport's
museums. It is also further evidence of the excellent relationship the Museum
has forged with UEFA.
Last September, the Museum collaborated with UEFA to create an exhibition at
the European parliament in Brussels to celebrate the organisations 50th anniversary.
Recently the Museum once again successfully worked with UEFA to create the official
European Women's Championship exhibition, Girls Allowed, which is now
open at the Museum.
The visit was a great success and
the Executive Committee, other UEFA staff and the Women's Committee who visited
were all genuinely enthralled by the Museum and its collections.
