Should football's European Championships go ahead in 2021?
CGTN Europe • 2m 7s
The European Championships are set to take place this year in the original 12 cities planned before COVID-19 struck, says UEFA, but there has been debate about whether it is the right move.
Along with the postponement of the Tokyo Olympics until the summer of 2021, the 12-month deferral of the Euro 2020 football tournament was another big blow for sports lovers.
A showcase for best international teams in Europe, the tournament comes around every four years with 24 sides doing battle over the course of a month.
