Uefa has demanded proof after a former Cyprus football official alleged that the bidding process for Euro 2012 was corrupt.
Spyros Marangos, who used to be treasurer of the Cyprus Football Association, claims that money changed hands before Ukraine and Poland were awarded the tournament.
Uefa, European football’s governing body, said the allegations were unsubstantiated but would be investigated if evidence was provided.
The claims come just days after world football's governing body Fifa launched an investigation in allegations of vote selling in the race to host the World Cup in 2018 and 2022.
In a statement, Uefa said it took the fight against corruption very seriously and threatened to start legal proceedings if evidence was not submitted by October 27 at the latest.
