The Hellenic Football Federation (EPO) is planning to withdraw Greece’s bid to host the final of the UEFA Europa Conference League of 2022 or 2023 in the Cretan city of Heraklion, despite the city being a strong favorite to host the game, according to revelations made by Athens-Macedonian News Agency (ANA) sources on Sunday.
After Skopje and St. Etienne withdrew their bids, that left Tirana as Heraklion’s only rival but over the past few days, EPO has been seeking ways to withdraw the Greek bid, for which the Greek working team submitted the final details requested by UEFA on June 15. The assessment of the bids and visits to candidate-cities is due to be completed by September 9, while the final decision is to be announced on December 3.
