United Kingdom Prime Minister Boris Johnson has offered up the country as a solo host for Euro 2020 later this year, as UEFA approach deadline day for decision's over the tournament's format and future.
The latest staging of the European Championship - for what would have been the competition's 60th anniversary - was originally pushed back from its original date last summer amid the coronovirus pandemic and is still slated to take place later this year.
But plans to maintain its pancontinental format, with hosting duties shared by a dozen cities in as many countries, remains under threat and with the UK well ahead in its vaccination programme, Johnson is ready to throw open the country’s doors.
