Football cermony of 2012
Uefa has denied media reports that it rejected a request from the Spanish Football Federation for a minute silence to be held before the Euro 2012 semi-final clash against Portugal.
The Real Betis defender lost his battle with pelvic cancer earlier this week, aged 23, and La Roja stars Cesc Fabregas and Sergio Ramos led the tributes to the former Under-19 international.
Spain's players had hoped that Roque's passing would be formally recognised just before kick-off in their meeting with Paulo Bento's men in Donetsk, but the European football governing body has denied having received a request from Spain.
In a statement on their website, Uefa said: “Further to media reports of the alleged refusal to allow a minute of silence in memory of Spanish football player Miki Roque ahead of tonight's Uefa Euro 2012 semi-final between Spain and Portugal, Uefa would like to underline that it has not received any such request from the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF)..jpg)
