“I would like to thank the Hellenic Football Federation and the 18 ECA member clubs in Greece for welcoming us. Greece has such an incredible history and culture and the football fans are so passionate – they love their football. I will never forget when Greece won EURO 2004, I was in the stadium and the fans were incredible. And also last year, when Olympiacos won the UEFA Conference League, the city went crazy. It is a great privilege for us to stand here in Athens on the site of the first Olympic Games almost 3000 years ago, where the values ​​of fair play and sporting honor were first created. Our ECA members – all of you, our proud family. And I would like to extend the biggest warm welcome to our hundreds of new members joining us for the first time. You are all very welcome, this is your association, we are here to help you,” he said.
