Nancy has pulled out of hosting games at the 2016 European Championship because of a financial disagreement between the French city and companies bidding for the renovation of the Marcel Picot stadium.
Nancy was among the 11 cities picked by the French Football Federation to host Euro 2016, but it needed to expand the Marcel Picot stadium's capacity from about 20,000 to 32,000 in order to comply with the UEFA requirements.
However, Nancy and the two companies bidding for the renovation of the stadium, Bouygues and Vinci, could not reach an agreement over the financing.
That leaves Saint-Denis, Marseille, Lyon, Paris, Lille, Lens, Bordeaux, Toulouse, Saint-Etienne and Nice as the cities that will host the tournament in 2016.
