The pandemic-delayed Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) Euro 2020 football extravaganza will kick off in Rome (Italy) on June 11th with Turkey taking on past winners Italy at the quarter-full Stadio Olimpico in Rome which can hold 72,698 spectators. A total of 24 teams will play across 11 European Cities. The kick-off of the soccer spectacle will come as a ‘phew moment’ for UEFA following the unprecedented decision to put the tournament on hold last year due to COVID-19 bludgeoning the whole world.
Euro 2020 is scheduled to be the 16th UEFA European Championship, the quadrennial international men’s football championship of Europe organized by the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA). It will be held from June 11th to July 11th, 2021.
With UEFA President Aleksander Čeferin taking a tough stance and asking all Euro 2020 host Cities to “allow fans into grounds or risk being dropped”, fans in limited numbers are being allowed by the entire 11 host Cities. Of course, in Budapest it will be full house.
