Lineups confirmed for UEFA committees

The UEFA Executive Committee has appointed a new chairman and deputy to head each of the 19 committees involved in shaping the policies of European football's governing body.

Two-year period

Duties
The committees – whose number excludes the UEFA Appeals Body and the Control and Disciplinary Body – discuss issues ranging from medical matters and players' status or transfers to refereeing, finance and the UEFA competitions. They also submit advice, proposals and recommendations to UEFA's supreme decision-making body, the Executive Committee.
