Ceferin 'confident' UEFA can deal with coronavirus threat to Euro 2020

UEFA President Aleksander Ceferin said he is ''confident we can deal with' the current coronavirus outbreak as he spoke at the UEFA Congress on Tuesday in Amsterdam.

Ceferin and UEFA general secretary Theodore Theodoridis were asked whether contingency plans had been put in place to move Euro 2020 matches this summer to different cities or different countries.

Theodoridis said: "We do not want to start speculating at this stage. We want to deal with it seriously, case by case, involving the correct stakeholders. We do not want to speculate what will happen in three or four months' time.

"We are addressing the situation already by making contact with the WHO and different governments as well. We have acknowledged the situation but we do not want to over-react. We have created a line of contact."

Ceferin said he wanted to be "optimistic" that the Euros would go ahead as planned.
