Europe’s football governing body, UEFA, have virtually decided to increase the number of participants in the European Championships from 16 to 24 in 2016.
The proposal won universal support from the 53-member UEFA and now it is almost certain that there will be a change.
UEFA president Michel Platini too wants 24 instead of 16 teams in the finals from Euro 2016 and says:
"Remember, I won the Euros [in 1984] when there were only eight teams. It is not certain it was better with eight teams than 16 or that 16 is better than 24 or 32 or 54.
"I am not worried about the quality by increasing the number of teams. Countries like England, Denmark, Scotland, Ireland, Belgium, Serbia, Ukraine and Bulgaria all have the ability to participate in a European Championship.
"Would they reduce the quality of the Euro? I believe they have the quality to take part. There are teams that could be at the Euros and even enhance the quality of the competition."
