Fifa must fix tournament dates fairly


WITH both the Copa America and UEFA European Championship (Euro 2016) soccer tournaments being held at the same time, football fans are hard put to select their choices. Both are world class competitions and feature some of the best soccer stars on the planet.

Two of the world’s most famous soccer stars, Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi (pix), are playing in two different tournaments at the same time in two different continents! One is really surprised as to why Fifa, the international governing body of football, continues with this practice of holding overlapping football tournaments and ignoring the pleas of millions of fans worldwide who want to see the action.
