Urs Meier has an amazing memory of games, players and victories. But his key-notes focuses on more than sheer numbers. He also looks on difficult questions like “Handball or not handball”. Making this decision is often not easy – but has always to be fair. Rivalry does not exclude friendship – but fairplay is an important principle, which balances many things on the field.

Urs Meier - like only few soccer players he managed to be successful in many fields: as referee, as writer, as analyst in TV shows. One thing is for sure: he is a man full of talents! 

In his key-note he goes back quite far: to the first soccer game of his life - which he actually watched as a kid, Switzerland vs. Germany. What has changed? For example many things happened much slower at this time - and some rules looked a bit different.
