England's bid to host the Euro 2020
semi-finals and final could be unchallenged at next month's vote, with
Germany FA chiefs considering dropping Munich's rival bid.
Germany wants to stage Euro 2024, and the country's football association - the DFB - may now only bid for Munich to host group games at Euro 2020 in order not to harm its campaign for the entire event four years later. UEFA is holding Euro 2020 in 13 different countries to mark the 60th anniversary of the tournament, and only Wembley and Munich's Allianz Arena have put in bids to host the semi-finals and final, with a vote taking place on September 19. DFB president Wolfgang Niersbach said a decision on whether to press ahead with a bid for the final remained "open" but stressed that the DFB and the English FA would work together to support each other. |
