Expanded European Championship will retain quality, claims Platini
The next European Championship will not suffer a drop in quality when it expands to 24 teams in 2016 from the current 16-team format, UEFA president Michael Platini said on Monday.
"Twenty-four is OK ... I think it's OK. Eight good teams to add. It's not a problem of quality," Platini said on Monday, looking ahead to France 2016 after giving a glowing assessment of the ongoing tournament in Poland and Ukraine.
