According to Nilsson to be the idea, however, have received positive response from UEFA.
– We whispered little ear to any UEFA delegates during the FIFA Congress, and they smiled a little. The acknowledgment we received. They are probably not sorry about the comments application. The Nordic countries have a good reputation. But we’ll see, he said.
