FEA TURE —O LY MPIQUE LY ONNAIS &F RA NCE 2016 UEFA’s EURO 2016 Host Venues
The French Football Federation (FFF) has unveiled the nine cities that will stage games during UEFA’s EURO 2016. Saint-Etienne and Toulouse were the major losers in the announcement, with the two cities having been omitted fromthe list and instead named as reserve locations. Bordeaux, Lens, Lille, Marseille, Nancy, Nice, Paris and Saint-Denis were selected, as was Lyon; which has taken a major step forward in their plans to build a new60,000-seat stadium in the suburb of Decines-Charpieu when the project was put forward for public consultation.
Lyon’s stadium will be one of four newfacilities built for the tournament, with stadia also set to be built in Bordeaux, Lille and Nice. The northern town of Lens was also chosen as a Host City, despite its club being relegated to Ligue 2 this season. (EURO 2016 will be the first edition of the European Championships to feature twenty-four teams, rather than sixteen at EURO 2012 to be jointly-hosted by Poland and Ukraine.)
