Title: Host Country and Host Cities of Euro 2020
Euro 2020, also known as the 2020 UEFA European Football Championship, is being held across multiple countries in Europe. The tournament is hosted in 11 different cities in 11 different countries as a way to celebrate the 60th "birthday" of the European Championship competition. The host cities and countries are:
1. Amsterdam, Netherlands
2. Baku, Azerbaijan
3. Bilbao, Spain
4. Bucharest, Romania
5. Budapest, Hungary
6. Copenhagen, Denmark
7. Glasgow, Scotland
8. London, England (with the semifinals and final held at Wembley Stadium)
9. Munich, Germany
10. Rome, Italy
11. Saint Petersburg, Russia
Each host city has the honor of hosting three group stage matches and one match in the round of 16 or quarterfinals. The semifinals and final take place at Wembley Stadium in London. This unique panEuropean format aims to bring the tournament closer to fans all over the continent and offers a diverse and inclusive celebration of the sport.
The Euro 2020 cooperation is not only a symbol of unity and collaboration but also demonstrates the capability to adapt to extraordinary circumstances, as the COVID19 pandemic prompted the postponement of the tournament from 2020 to 2021.
This innovative approach allows fans from all participating countries to experience the excitement of the championship without the need to travel long distances, making the tournament more accessible and reducing the carbon footprint associated with a single host nation event.
