Euro 2016: Tournament to remain in France - UEFA

 

The Euro 2016 finals will remain in France, UEFA has reaffirmed. 

The country's hosting of the event had come under scrutiny following Friday's Nov 13,2015 attacks in Paris  in which 129 people were killed.

But in a statement on Monday Nov 16,2015, Uefa said it had been working with authorities for three years "to guarantee there is a safe and secure tournament".

The draw for the finals will go ahead as scheduled on 12 December at the Palais des Congres in Paris.
"We are confident that the necessary measures will be taken to ensure that is the case," added the statement.

The tournament will be played in France from 10 June to 10 July 2016.
