By Brian Homewood ZURICH (Reuters) - Slovenian football boss Aleksandar Ceferin launched what appeared to be a strong bid for the presidency of UEFA on Wednesday, claiming to have support from almost one-third of the European soccer body's member associations. The Slovenian football association, in announcing its president's intention to stand, listed 18 European FAs out of a total of 55 that it said were prepared to support him. Ceferin joins Dutchman Michael van Praag as a candidate for the Sept. 14 election to replace Frenchman Michael Platini, banned for four years by FIFA for ethics violations.
