EURO 2016
EURO 2016 is underway in France in the backdrop of serious security and terrorist threat especially after the deadly terrorist attacks in Paris and Belgium. There were calls to not to arrange the European Championship in France due to the number of terrorists attacks in that country over the last two years. This tournament also comes after the devastating FIFA corruption scandal which has resulted in the former FIFA President Sepp Blatter and UEFA President Michel Platini from being banned for eight years. Football needs Euro 2016 to be a success both on and off the field. Let us hope for a safe tournament where people all around Europe and the world will enjoy the beautiful game.
