European Mountain Village Championship "Bergdorf-EM" organiser Swiss Fabian Furrer poses in the 2000 metres high "Ottmar Hitzfeld GsponArena" football pitch on May 14, 2020 in the Alpine village of Gspon. Despite the postponement of Euro 2020 because of the coronavirus pandemic, a small Swiss mountain village -- thought to be home to the highest pitch in Europe -- is hoping to stage a scaled-down version of the tournament this summer. The European Mountain Village Championship dates back to 2008, the same year Switzerland co-hosted the conventional tournament with neighbours Austria, and is set to return to its origins in Gspon. / AFP / FABRICE COFFRINI
