We were fortunate to have an excellent interpreter, Brigitte Francois (McWhinney) of London throughout the Conference.
There are 5 key issues that had been discuss with UEFA Disability Panel along with other Disability Football Agencies, Blind, Amputee, Cerebral Palsy, and Les Autres.
It was agreed that all European Disability Football Agencies, including EDSO is to meet with UEFA Disability Panel to explore the possibility for UEFA to assist Disability Football Agencies with their technical expertise.
EDSO will be looking into assistance given to all National Deaf Football Organisation in Europe for advice and guidance to work with the National Football Association. There is no guarantee that everyone will get these kinds of supports, but it will be parts of long term plan, with supports coming from UEFA.
At the end of the Conference, Bjorn and Andrew had attended to a Gala dinner (Swiss style) in one of the beautiful Chateau on the outskirt of Geneva. Andrew had given visual joke for the participants to see and it was very well receive even coming from the Head of UEFA Development.
