"I am really excited about the trust that has been expressed in me, and I am sure that all sections will support me. I will do everything I can to be a good president for every section, as well as for the whole of Swiss football," said Gilliéron, who has served as general secretary since 1993. Zloczower was named by the SFV-ASF delegates as the association's second honorary president.
