Georgia, Azerbaijan plan bid to co-host Euro 2020 Neither of the two former Soviet states has ever qualified for a major international football competition
Georgia's president says his country plans to form a joint bid with neighboring Azerbaijan to co-host the 2020 European Championship. President Mikhail Saakashvili made the announcement on Wednesday while addressing Azerbaijan's parliament. Neither former Soviet nation has ever qualified for a major international football competition since gaining independence in 1991. UEFA is likely to invite bids to host Euro 2020 early next year with a vote scheduled for May 2014. Turkey has already expressed interest in hosting the competition. Ukraine and Poland are co-hosting Euro 2012, which starts on June 8 with Poland playing Greece in Warsaw. (For more sports news and updates, follow Ahram Online Sports on Twitter: @AO Sports)
