We do not have a problem with a joint bid for Euro 2016. If it were France, it would be a friendly and neighbouring country. If it were not technically and politically possible, we would go ahead alone," Giancarlo Abete told Italian radio.

"With great transparency, we want to check if a way forward can be found. If it is not possible, we are not scared of competing by ourselves."

Italy missed out on Euro 2012 to Ukraine and Poland partly because of the decaying state of many Serie A stadiums, which were built or refurbished for the 1990 World Cup.

Huge investment in difficult economic times would be needed to revamp Italy's footballing infrastructure, making the idea of a joint bid more appealing.

There is no love lost between Italy and France on the field and off it, with the teams having a long-standing football rivalry.
