UEFA facing Euro 2016
May 25th, 2010

UEFA decide on Friday the host nation for the 2016 European Championship with a clear choice between the tried and tested in Italy or France against the apparently more risky option of Turkey.
The smart money looked to be on the latter two following the lack-lustre campaign of world champions Italy which has left many of the soccer-mad country not even aware of their bid.
Many of the 16-man executive committee which will make the decision would surely love to hand Turkey their first taste of hosting a major international tournament but will be given pause for thought by the example of 2012 hosts Poland and Ukraine.
