The German Football Federation have moved to dispel speculation that they are about to step in and host the European Championships in 2012 with the Poland/ Ukraine plans in turmoil.
The DFB have moved quickly to refute a report in the Daily Telegraph which claims that Uefa have asked the Germans to step in and host the 2012 European Championships as co-hosts with Poland.
The proposed stadium upgrade s in the Ukraine are well behind schedule and the Telegraph claim that Germans, who hosted the World Cup in 2006 have been called upon to help out.
"We are not getting involved in any imaginary games or speculation about the 2012 European Championship" DFB president Theo Zwanziger told Bild.
"Should there be any difficulties, then UEFA president Michel Platini will make suggestions."
The Germans have also recently been linked with taking over the 2010 World Cup from South Africa. These reports have also been strenuously denied by the DFB.
