(REUTERS) - Uefa president Aleksander Ceferin says he will not support the idea of a pan-continental European Championship again as it is unfair to the teams as well as travelling fans to fly thousands of kilometres between matches. Euro 2020 has been held across 11 cities, with London hosting the two semi-finals and Sunday's (July 11) final between England and Italy. Yet some teams and their fans were forced to fly to the far reaches of the continent, such as Baku in Azerbaijan, which represented a logistical nightmare. Some fans had to be in Rome and in a couple of days they had to be in Baku - a 41/2 hour flight. Germany were chosen to host Euro 2024 after beating Turkey in the bidding process, with matches to be held in 10 cities.
