With UEFA EURO 2016 just over a month away, the committee will hear an update on final preparations for the tournament in France, which begins on 10 June. Ten venues across France – Bordeaux, Lens, Lille, Lyon, Marseille, Toulouse, Saint-Etienne, Nice, Paris and Saint-Denis – will host matches at the first EURO finals to feature 24 teams.
The committee will also be asked to approve various UEFA national team competition regulations for the coming period, as well as the new 2016 version of the UEFA Disciplinary Regulations.
The UEFA Congress on Tuesday will feature the first-ever election of a female member of the UEFA Executive Committee.
UEFA's 54 member associations will also vote on the application of the Football Federation of Kosovo (FFK) for UEFA membership.
No media activities are planned around the Executive Committee meeting, but a press conference attended by the UEFA General Secretary ad interim, Theodore Theodoridis, will be held after Tuesday's Congress.
The UEFA Congress will be streamed live on UEFA.org.
