Former UEFA president Michel Platini himself described his brainchild as "a zany idea" as far back as 2012, and his predecessor has quashed the idea of it happening again on his watch. Several competing nations were critical of the fact they were expected to travel thousands of miles to take part, while others were in effect playing in their own back yards. And current UEFA president, Aleksandar eferin, responded by saying: I dont think we will do it again. Germany will be dusting themselves down from the ignominy of being eliminated from a major tournament by hosting the 17th edition of the Euros on home soil. They were awarded the hosting duties after beating off the only other bidder, Turkey. The vote went 12-4 in the Germans' favour. This will be a first for a reunited Germany, as only West Germany hosted the competition in 1988, when they lost out to eventual winners the Netherlands in Hamburg.
