Basel - UEFA will vote to elect a new president to replace disgraced Frenchman Michel Platini on September 14, European football's governing body announced Wednesday.
UEFA has been without a president since Platini was forced to resign after a sports tribunal rejected his final appeal against his ban from football over a suspect $2.0 million payment he received from FIFA.
