Aleksander Ceferin, president of the European Football Association (UEFA), has ruled out the idea of holding the European Mother’s Cup in several cities across the continent once again.
Reuters quoted Ceferin as saying on Friday that he would not support holding the European Championships across the continent again, given the troubles incurred by visiting teams and fans in traveling thousands of kilometers between host cities to attend matches.
Ceferin said: “If you ask my advice, I will not support holding the tournament like this again, I think the challenges were huge, I don’t think it is right that some teams travel more than ten thousand kilometers while others travel only a thousand kilometers, for example. “.
He continued: “It is unfair to the fans, some fans have to travel to Rome and two days later they have to be in Baku on a four-and-a-half hour flight. It was an exciting idea but we had great difficulties in implementing it. I think we will not do it again.” .
It is noteworthy that the current European Nations Cup is held in 11 cities across the continent, and London hosted the two semi-final matches, as well as the final match on Sunday between England and Italy. .
It is expected that Germany will host the European Championship 2024, and the matches will be held in ten cities. The last time Germany hosted a major tournament was in 2006 when it organized the World Cup.
