"A stellar line-up of former football stars and elite coaches will assemble at the European House of Football on Monday, 24 April for the inaugural meeting of the UEFA Football Board," the governing body said in a statement.
"This eminent advisory body, approved by the UEFA Executive Committee at its last meeting in Lisbon earlier this month, is designed to give an institutional yet independent voice of experience and expertise on fundamental football-related topics, including the Laws of the Game, refereeing, match calendar, elite youth development and players well-being.
"UEFA Football Board members were selected based on their outstanding club or national team football achievements, impeccable international reputation and extensive experience."
The meeting will be chaired by Zvonimir Boban, UEFA's technical director and chief of football.
Additionally on Friday, UEFA said it has frozen ticket prices for this year's Champions League final in Istanbul.
