Dublin has been offered a glimmer of hope of retaining its European Championship hosting rights after Uefa extended a final decision on the format until April 20.

The 12 cities due to host games in June had been requested by the European governing body to provide assurances from their health authorities about an improving Covid-19 outlook.
