Platini will be our guest, says Euro 2016 organizer
Platini will be our guest, says Euro 2016 organizer Michel Platini.Despite his six-year ban from football, Michel Platini will be welcome at Euro 2016.
Michel Platini will be a guest of organizers and the French Football Federation at Euro 2016, according to tournament president Jacques Lambert.
Former UEFA president Platini is currently serving a reduced six-year ban from all soccer-related activity over a "disloyal payment" made by then-FIFA chief Sepp Blatter in 2011.
Platini appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport but conceded he was "skeptical" about his chances of overturning the ban.
