| description | In June 1954, 28 national football associations from all over Europe met in Basel, Switzerland, to create a continental organization. Renamed as Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) in October 1954, in less than ten years it became a major actor in European football, a leading role which it continued to play in the decades that followed. How can the creation of this organization be explained during the Cold War, when Europeans were divided? What were the main sources of inspiration for the advocates of UEFA? From a globalized perspective, this paper addresses these two questions by focusing on the role played by South American football administrators in this process. This research is primarily based on documents from the FIFA archives, in particular the minutes of both the Executive and Emergency Committees and the Congresses, as well as mail correspondence. These documents have been cross-referenced with other archives of national associations and a careful review of L’Equipe and France Football, newspapers with international scope. |

Renamed as Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) in October 1954, in less than ten years it became a major actor in European football, a leading role which it continued to play in the decades that followed.

En junio de 1954, 28 asociaciones nacionales de fútbol de toda Europa se reunieron en la ciudad de Basilea (Suiza) para crear una organización continental. Rebautizada en octubre de 1954 como Unión de Asociaciones Europeas de Fútbol (UEFA), en menos de diez años se convirtió en un actor fundamental en el fútbol europeo, un rol protagónico que siguió ocupando en las décadas siguientes. ¿Qué razones llevaron a los dirigentes del fútbol europeo a crear una organización paneuropea como la UEFA en 1954, un tiempo en que Europa estaba dividida por la Guerra Fría? ¿Cuáles fueron las fuentes de inspiración de los promotores de esta organización? Desde una perspectiva de historia global, el artículo propone responder a estas preguntas haciendo énfasis en la influencia que ejerció Sudamérica sobre los promotores de la UEFA. Esta investigación se basa principalmente en documentos encontrados en los archivos de la FIFA y la UEFA; específicamente, en las actas de los Comités Ejecutivo y de Emergencia, los Congresos y la correspondencia. Además, esta documentación se ha cruzado con documentos provenientes de los archivos de algunas asociaciones nacionales de fútbol y ejemplares de los periódicos franceses L’Auto, L’Equipe y France Football, que hacen hincapié en el desarrollo del fútbol en el ámbito internacional. 2021-12-30 2022-03-17T17:21:12Z 2022-03-17T17:21:12Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Artículo evaluado por pares http://publicaciones.claeh.edu.uy/index.php/cclaeh/article/view/528 10.29192/claeh.40.2.3 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/46236 spa http://publicaciones.claeh.edu.uy/index.php/cclaeh/article/view/528/398 Derechos de autor 2021 Cuadernos del Claeh http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 application/pdf Universidad Centro Latinoamericano de Economía Humana (Universidad CLAEH) Cuadernos del Claeh; Vol. 40 Núm. 114 (2021); 35-51 2393-5979 0797-6062 |
