UEFA 'deeply shocked and saddened' by Paris attacks


Paris attacks, in which more than 120 people have
been killed, leave UEFA "deeply shocked and
saddened".

UEFA has expressed its "deep shock and sadness" after the
Paris attacks that have left more than 120 people dead.

Latest figures from French officials report that 128 people were
killed and another 99 remain critical after what appear to have
been co-ordinated acts of terrorism across the French capital on
Friday.

The Stade de France, where France were playing Germany in an
international friendly, was among the venues targeted, with a
blast heard during the game and three fatalities reported outside
the arena.

In a statement released on Saturday, UEFA said:

"UEFA is deeply shocked and saddened by the tragic events which
occurred in Paris last night and wishes to express its support
and solidarity to France and to those affected by these horrible
acts."

UEFA made no mention of Euro 2016, which France is due to
host next year.
