Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis wanted to publicly express his congratulations to Gabriele Gravina for his recent appointment as First Vice President of UEFA, a very important position obtained on the occasion of the ordinary Congress of the European Confederation held in Belgrade.
Through a message published on his official profile X (formerly Twitter), De Laurentiis wrote: “My most sincere compliments to Gabriele Gravina, appointed first vice president of UEFA. A position of great prestige and very important for Italian football”. A message that strengthens the institutional front and renews Napoli's support for federal governance.
The Azzurri patron thus wanted to underline the strategic importance of this role for the national football system, recognising the number one of the FIGC the ability to represent Italy at the top of European football in a delicate phase of transition and reform.
