Euro 2020 venue latest: How likely each city is to host this summer’s football matches – The Athletic

Euro 2020, at last, is almost upon us. Just over two months remain before a tournament delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic gets underway, with 24 nations vying to lift the trophy won by Portugal five years ago.

So much anticipation but still so many questions, too. No participating team can yet be sure where its games will be played or in front of how many supporters. Plans, for now, remain provisional.

Twelve host cities have until Wednesday, April 7 to submit their proposals to UEFA, who hope to then be in a position to announce details within 48 hours.

An executive committee meeting will follow on April 19, the eve of UEFA Congress in Montreux, where final decisions must be formally approved.

UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin has previously suggested that any venues unable to accommodate fans would be stripped of its games, leaving the door open to this summer’s tournament spanning “10 or 11” countries.
