The candidates are Aleksander Čeferin (President, Football Association of Slovenia), Michael van Praag (President, Royal Netherlands Football Association) and Ángel María Villar Llona (President, Royal Spanish Football Federation).
The election will take place at the 12th Extraordinary UEFA Congress on September 14 in Athens, Greece.
The candidates for the Presidency will be subject to an eligibility check, conducted by the Review Committee of FIFA due to the fact that the UEFA President automatically becomes a FIFA Council vice-president.
