KILKENNY WOMAN ÁINE Power has earned for herself a major role at Uefa, after European football’s governing body appointed her to the Control Ethics and Disciplinary Body.
The Lausanne-based Power is one of six people to have been drafted onto the disciplinary board and will now have a direct say in punitive measures taken against clubs who break Uefa rules.
Power is the Deputy Legal Director of the International Equestrian Federation (FEI), and is a graduate of the Fifa Masters in Management Law and Humanities of Sports course.
Changes made by Uefa in March meant that other bodies — and not solely national associations — could propose members, and Power was nominated by the Uefa administration.
