UEFA released a statement which read: “We support Michel Platini’s right to a due process and a fair trial and to the opportunity to clear his name.”

“We strongly call on all instances involved in the current process: FIFA’s Ethics Committee, FIFA’s Appeal Committee and ultimately the Court of Arbitration for Sport to work very rapidly to ensure that there is a final decision on the merits of the case by, at the latest, mid-November 2015.”

“We got a unified position of UEFA,” Windtner said.

“All nations give all support to Mr. Platini.”

The German city of Hamburg has confirmed a bid budget of $55 million in their quest to host the 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

The final number was confirmed by Olympic news website Around The Rings. It comes following other cities bidding have started to estimate their costs.

Hamburg’s campaign budget will be a mixture of government money, order around 30 per cent, health with the rest coming from the private sector.

Rivals in the race to host the 2024 Games such as Paris have estimated their bid budget to be around $63m. Rome’s bid, however, will only cost around $11m according to Italian NOC president Giovanni Malago.

The International Olympic Committee have stressed the need for “modest” bid funds, an aspect of bidding for events that was reviewed in the Agenda 2020 programme.

Other cities wishing to bid for the Games have until September 15 to enter a submission. Baku and Toronto have been tipped to enter the race while the United States Olympic Committee is expected to enter Los Angeles as their chosen city to replace Boston who dropped out last month.

The final decision on the host of the Games will be decided at the IOC session in Lima, Peru in 2017.

Hockey players will be able to benefit from the latest innovation in the game’s sport-specific playing surfaces, shop with a new advancement in artificial turf technology.

TX HD, apoplectic created by synthetic yarn manufacturer, hospital Bonar Yarns, is the next generation of ‘Knit de Knit’ (KdK) hockey fibre, incorporating specially curled yarns with a waxy surface that improve performance in both wet and dry conditions.

Bryn Lee, Commercial Director at Bonar Yarns, said, “During the last few years KdK yarn has fallen from favour as the more durable texturised monofilament yarn became more popular.

“That is changing as the TX HD yarn is even more durable and offers a truer hockey surface far longer than any other yarn developed to date. KdK hockey pitches, always popular with players, are now back and thriving.”
