Former UEFA President Michel Platini said the tournament being hosted in several nations is a "romantic" one-off event to celebrate the 60th "birthday" of the European Championship competition. Wembley Stadium in London is planned to host the semi-finals and final.The selection of the host cities does not mean an automatic qualifying berth is awarded to the national team of that nation. UEFA reasoned that the pan-European staging of the tournament was the logical decision at a time of financial difficulty across Europe. Critics have cited the expanded format (from 31 matches featuring 16 nations to 51 featuring 24) and its associated additional costs as the decisive factor for only one nation (Turkey) having put forward a serious bid.

Will this be the trend for other tournaments and Olympics?
