20 January 2023 at 11:02 The vice-president of Uefa supports Klaveness The Swedish vice-president of Uefa, Karl-Erik Nilsson, tells news that he wants to support and help Lise Klaveness to join the Uefa board in April. – It is of course very positive that there are more of us from the Nordic football confederation who are candidates and also that there are more women who are candidates for these posts. It is very positive, says Nilsson. He points out that the Nordic football associations already cooperate well and that it is natural to support each other to get into position. – I think her chances are good. I don’t know how many candidates there will be for the board, I think there will be a lot of competition for these places, but it is clear that she has an opportunity. It will be me as the person who supports her candidacy in this Nordic context. The fact that I am also vice-president of Uefa is perhaps not a disadvantage in that work, says Nilsson. It was on Wednesday that Klaveness announced that she is standing as a candidate. The election takes place in Lisbon at the beginning of April.
