| Belgian FA to propose Brussels as Euro 2020 venue Posted: 11 Sep 2013 08:33 AM PDT The Belgian football association will propose Brussels as a venue for the 2020 European soccer championship which is set to be played in cities across the continent. The Belgian FA said in a statement today that it would propose Brussels to European soccer's governing body UEFA after an agreement over a new stadium was reached between the Flemish, Brussels and federal governments. Belgian sporting and political figures have been battling over the location and nature of the replacement for the King Baudouin Stadium, which hosts the national soccer side's games and other events such as Diamond League athletics. The preferred plan is for a new stadium with a running track. Capacity could be up to 60,000 and the construction would be financed privately. The Belgian FA said the stadium would ideally also be home to a club side, with Brussels-based Anderlecht being the most logical choice. - Reuters, September 11, 2013. |
| Posted: 11 Sep 2013 05:15 AM PDT Ferrari said in a statement that the 33-year-old Finnish "Iceman", currently competing for Lotus, will replace Brazilian Felipe Massa alongside Spain's double world champion Fernando Alonso. "Scuderia Ferrari announces that it has reached an agreement with Kimi Raikkonen. The Finn will join Fernando Alonso in the driver line-up for the next two racing seasons," the statement said. Massa, championship runner-up to Lewis Hamilton in 2008 before he suffered near-fatal head injuries in Hungary the following year, had already announced on social media that he would not be driving for the Italian team in 2014. - Reuters, September 11, 2013. |
