GENEVA (Reuters) - UEFA chief Aleksander Ceferin is the only candidate for presidential elections at European soccer's governing body scheduled to take place at its congress in April, it said on Friday.

UEFA had previously said that Ceferin, a Slovenian lawyer, would stand for a third term as president. The 55-year-old was re-elected unopposed for a four-year term in 2019.
