Hollande: Is not possible to cancel Euro 2016
French president Francois Hollande has stressed the notion of postponing or cancelling Euro 2016 has never been raised. Tuesday saw France play at the Stade de France for the first time since the area around the venue was targeted as part of a series of coordinated attacks on the city of Paris in November in which 130 people were killed. Belgium’s friendly with Portugal has been moved from Brussels to Leiria following last Tuesday’s attacks in the Belgian capital that claimed the lives of 35 people.
However, France’s Prime Minister Manuel Valls has previously insisted Euro 2016 will go ahead.
