MANCHESTER, England (Reuters) - European soccer's governing body says they are confident they will not need to take up UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson's offer of hosting more Euro 2020 matches, insisting the venues in place across the continent will be sufficient for the delayed event.

The 12-nation tournament was postponed by a year to June due to the COVID-19 pandemic and there remain questions over UEFA's plan to host the tournament across the continent.
