EURO 2016 bids ready for handover

The three countries aiming to host UEFA EURO 2016 – France, Italy and Turkey – will hand over their bids at an official ceremony at UEFA headquarters in Nyon at 14.00CET on Monday.

While the football world was focusing on last Sunday's UEFA EURO 2012 qualifying draw in Warsaw, the road to UEFA EURO 2016 is also in the spotlight with three candidates to stage the final round in six years' time coming to UEFA headquarters in Nyon at 14.00CET on Monday to hand over their bids in an official ceremony.

Representatives of France, Italy and Turkey will submit their bids in a ceremony conducted by Gilberto Madaíl, member of the UEFA Executive Committee and chairman of the UEFA National Team Competitions Committee. The ceremony starts at 14.00 local time.

The trio are the three remaining bidders after Sweden/Norway withdrew their bid at the end of last year. Once the bids have been submitted, they will be analysed as part of an evaluation phase. UEFA's administration will submit reports to the National Team Competitions Committee, and the Executive Committee is due to take a final decision on the host association of UEFA EURO 2016 in Geneva on 28 May.
