Title
50th Anniversary of UEFA, Republic of Cyprus
Description
Founded in 1954, the European Football Association, UEFA, celebrated its 50th anniversary in the knowledge that it had contributed enormously in promoting young players, combating racism in football and organizing competitions such as the annual Champions League Tournament. From the original 30 members, it now boasts a membership of 52 national associations and takes pride in being one of the most successful and influential sports organizations in Europe.
With Athens hosting the 2004 Olympic Games, the annual Championship League Tournament opened in Lisbon with Portugal versus Greece and the latter winning by two goals to one. The players were fired by greater hopes of glory and even when they were outclassed, they never faltered nor lost sight of the glory they were seeking. It soon became evident that all twelve Olympian Gods were favouring the Greek team, and when they won the final against Portugal by one goal to nil, emotions of elation, disbelief and despair among the Greek and Portuguese players and spectators were overwhelming. It was a harbinger of what was to be achieved at the Olympic Games later in the year.
