Other organizers of the tournament, which did not take place last year due to the coronavirus pandemic, are London, Glasgow, Rome, Baku, Budapest, Bucharest, Copenhagen and Amsterdam. All of these cities have previously promised to fill the stadiums, at least in part, during the tournament.
The Czech national team will play the first two matches in the basic group D against Scotland and Croatia on 14 and 18 June in Glasgow’s Hampden Park and on 22 June they will face England at Wembley in London.
The European Football General Assembly was to decide on the cities to host the postponed EURO on Monday at a meeting of the Executive Committee in Montreuex, Switzerland, followed by the UEFA Congress.
But everything overwhelmed what was happening around the announced formation of the Super League.
This created space for the final verdict of the host cities to be postponed to Friday.
UEFA demands a guarantee that the stadiums will be filled by at least 25 percent for European Championship matches.
Bilbao and Dublin did not provide them, so they were dropped from the list of twelve cities. Munich’s term has been extended, according to corridor sources.
According to the current situation, so far only Budapest has promised that the Puskas arena could be played in front of a full auditorium.
| To what extent will the spectator capacity of stadiums be used? | |
| 100 % | Budapest |
| 50 % | Saint Petersburg a Baku (subject to negative tests) |
| 25 – 33% | Amsterdam, Bucharest, Copenhagen, Glasgow |
| 25% | London (for group matches and rounds 16, for semi-finals and finals the capacity should be higher), Rome, Seville |
St. Petersburg and Baku then announce that the spectator capacity of the local stadiums could be half full.
