Europe's football parliament gathers at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London on Friday for the XXXVII Ordinary UEFA Congress.
The Congress, which is UEFA's supreme governing organ, meets annually, with delegates from UEFA's 53 full member national associations discussing and voting upon various European football issues.
Among the main items on the agenda for the London Congress are the annual reports of the UEFA President and the UEFA Executive Committee, and the annual report of the UEFA administration for 2011/12; reports on the activities of UEFA's committees; and financial matters including the annual UEFA consolidated statement of accounts for 2011/12 and the budget for the 2013/14 financial year.
Also on the programme are the adoption of a resolution – European football united against racism – and the application of the Football Association of Gibraltar for UEFA membership. The UEFA Executive Committee admitted Gibraltar as a provisional UEFA member at its meeting in St Petersburg, Russia, last October.
