UEFA confirms Euros to remain in France

UEFA has no plans to change the venue of Euro 2016 from France following the attacks in Paris.

UEFA has confirmed that next year's European Championship will be hosted by France as scheduled despite the terrorist attacks that occurred in Paris on Friday.

Officials confirmed that 129 were killed and a further 99 left critically injured following a series of violent incidents in the French capital. The Stade de France was one of the targets, with the national team competing in a friendly against Germany.

The attacks have led to security concerns ahead of Euro 2016, which will be hosted by France, and led to question marks as to whether the host venue will be changed.
