ASSE co-president Bernard Caïazzo already sees very favorably UEFA’s likely decision to postpone the Euro until the summer of 2021.
Two hundred million euros. Here is how much the cost of a one-year postponement of the Euro is estimated by financiers based on stadium rentals, hotel reservations already paid, etc. This plump check would be a huge shortfall but could allow the national championships to end their season. The a priori option envisaged by Aleksander Ceferin has only support in France, where the clubs involved fear a recession because of the disastrous economic consequences due to the coronavirus.
“It’s a good solution, confirms in The Team Bernard Caïazzo, president of the supervisory board of ASSE and Premier League. If we don’t finish the European Championships, a large number of clubs, all over Europe, will be damaged. The financial effects would be enormous, with a quarter of the revenue going up in smoke (see pages 6-7). Even if we have to finish in July or August, we have to finish the season. “

Noël Le Graët believes that beyond France, the majority is likely to be in favor of postponing the Euro if it is decided. “Right now, we are listening to the state and showing the example. Football should not make contradictory statements to the whole of France. In any case, it is the Executive Committee of the Federation which will give its conclusions, in all cases., concludes the president of the FFF.
