Shah, who also served as the former BCCI secretary, engaged with Čeferin as part of the ICC's outreach program to promote cricket's global expansion. The meeting took place on Friday, May 31, 2025, just before the Champions League final at the Allianz Arena in Munich.
"The Champions League final is a significant event in the global sporting calendar, and it's an honor to represent cricket in Munich ahead of this prestigious match," Shah said on social media. "Engaging with leaders from other sports, like UEFA President Aleksander Čeferin, is always valuable as we expand our sport's global reach."
This meeting follows a series of initiatives by the ICC to increase cricket's international presence. Earlier this year, Shah met with former IOC president Thomas Bach in Lausanne, discussing cricket's return to the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics. The inclusion of cricket in the Games highlights the sport's growing international significance.
The Champions League final, set for Saturday, June 1, at 12:30 AM IST, will be broadcast on Sony Sports Network for Indian viewers. The match will be held at the Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany, with Inter Milan facing Paris Saint-Germain.
Inter Milan's journey to the final was marked by dramatic circumstances, including a 7-6 aggregate win over FC Barcelona. PSG, on the other hand, defeated English Premier League side Arsenal 3-1 across two legs to secure their spot in the final.
The meeting between Shah and Čeferin underscores the importance of cross-sport collaboration in the global sporting landscape. As cricket continues to expand its reach, such engagements will play a crucial role in increasing the sport's visibility and appeal to a wider audience.
