Football: Germany backs multi-venue Euro

GERMANY: A plan to stage the 2020 European football championships across the entire continent instead of one or two countries enjoys wide support among national federations, according to Germany’s football association (DFB).

“We were surprised when we first heard the idea,” said DFB General-Secretary Helmut Sandrock. “But I myself had discussions to learn more about this idea and we know that there have been two strategy discussions with national federations already and there is a lot of support for such a Euro tournament.”
