He owns the firm IPS Law, that represents major players, organisation and club, not just in football but other sports also. In this unofficial blog we keep up on the latest news at the head of the game. 

Paul Philipp has been re-elected as president of the Luxembourg Football Federation (FLF), the umbrella organisation for football clubs in Luxembourg, for a further four years. Philipp, who has been at the helm of Luxembourg’s association for the past 18 years, was confirmed in office at the FLF’s 104th Congress in Strassen on the 15th of this month. 

Mr Paul Philipp was reelected President of the Luxembourg Football Federation (FLF) for an additional four-year term until 2026. He obtained more votes than Luxembourgish global fund and asset management industry professional Mr Claude Kremer. 

Mr Paul Philipp first took office in 2004 and will serve another four-year term after being reelected on 15 October at the FLF’s 104th Congress held in the central Luxembourgish commune of Strasse.

"We will take care of football," Philipp said after his re-election in thanking delegates for their trust. "We're going to try to do everything a little better, and to be available all the time.”

We will try to be attentive,” he added, while emphasising the need for firm decision-making for the good of football in the Grand Duchy. “This is why we are respected, and sometimes criticised,“ he reflected.

Philipp was first elected as FLF president in 2004. Previously, he had played 54 matches for Luxembourg’s national team between 1968 and 1982, before going on to coach the national team from 1985 to 2001. The Luxembourg Football Federation is the governing body of football in Luxembourg. It organises the Luxembourg Football League and the Luxembourg national football team. It is based in Mondercange, to the south of Luxembourg City.
