“Extraordinary, Nice will host Euro 2016 in its grand stadium, which will be completed in 2013 with a contribution from the State. I want to thank the President of the Republic who, by presenting this grand plan for the renovation or construction of new stadiums, has enabled France to be the winner today and thus allow Nice to be one of the cities hosting Euro 2016. This should be a source of pride for Nice, its residents, and everyone who dedicates themselves daily to making Nice a great sporting city. It’s a grand celebration for France, for Nice, and for all football lovers.” Christian Estrosi did not hide his joy at the announcement by Michel Platini of the host country for this great European football celebration.
A few days before the kickoff of the next World Cup, this is excellent news for France and the City of Nice, which can now begin planning for this event.
