Jay Shah Reaches Munich Before Champions League Final, Meets UEFA President
Last Updated: ICC chairman Jay Shah met UEFA president Aleksander Čeferin in Munich to discuss cricket's global outreach before the PSG vs Inter Milan Champions League final. ICC chairman and former BCCI secretary Jay Shah on Friday met UEFA president Aleksander Čeferin in Munich, two days ahead of the Champions League final between Inter Milan and Paris Saint-Germain, which will be played at the Allianz Arena on Sunday, June 1. Shah mentioned that the meeting with Čeferin ahead of the big final was to ensure that cricket's global outreach continued. While cricket boasts a vast fan base, with millions following games, tournaments and careers of their favourite players, several parts of Europe still haven't immersed themselves in the sport. 'Honoured to represent cricket in Munich ahead of the @championsleague Final and have discussions with UEFA President Aleksander Čeferin," Shah tweeted on Saturday morning. Honoured to represent cricket in Munich ahead of the @championsleague Final and have discussions with UEFA President Aleksander Čeferin. It's always valuable to spend time with other sporting leaders as the @ICC expands our sport's global reach. — Jay Shah (@JayShah) May 31, 2025 ICC has several global outreach initiatives which it uses to promote cricket. Its flagship community outreach program, named 'Cricket for Good', aims to use the sport's power to impact children and families worldwide, addressing problems like nutrition deficiency, education and child protection. The final will be a special occasion for Achraf Hakimi, Paris Saint-Germain's Moroccan right-back, who won the Serie A title with Inter four years back. Hakimi is the best full-back in the world when it comes to attacking and he has scored or set up 22 goals this season. Federico Dimarco has a key role to play in Inter's 3-5-2 formation, in which his attacking contribution is crucial. However, he had a torrid time against Lamine Yamal in the semi-finals. Denzel Dumfries does the same job on the right as Dimarco on the left for Inter, with the Dutchman a marauding wing-back who offers so much to his team going forward, he has scored 11 goals this season.

Tottenham players left without medals after Europa League final victory
by Naharnet Newsdesk 22 May 2025, 14:48 Striker Son Heung-min was among the Tottenham players left without winner's medals during the awards ceremony for the Europa League final on Wednesday. UEFA President Aleksander Čeferin appeared to be caught by surprise when the medals ran out before all Tottenham players had received them following the team's 1-0 win over Manchester United. UEFA later said that the problem occurred because Tottenham sent too many people to receive their medals during the ceremony. Soccer's European governing body said the clubs had been informed that only 30 medals would be presented on stage to each club. It said 20 further medals were given to the club following the ceremony for distribution to players and staff. Son, who lifted the trophy in front of his teammates in the awards ceremony, was among the few players who didn't receive his medal on the field. It was Tottenham's first major title since 2008.
