Brexit could deny England chance to host Champions League final, World Cup or Euros, warns Uefa president

Brexit could kill any bid by England for the World Cup, European Championship or Champions League final, the president of Uefa has warned.

Aleksander Ceferin also declared that the 2026 World Cup could not be played in the United States if Donald Trump’s ‘Muslim ban’ prevented players, fans or the media from entering the country for the tournament.

Ceferin, elected president of Uefa in September, said European football’s governing body remained committed to staging the semi-finals and final of Euro 2020 at Wembley.

But he added “we could have a serious problem” if those travelling to the UK for European matches were denied entry post-Brexit.
