The British government has postponed the final phase of the lifting of anti-epidemic measures to 19 July due to concerns about the spread of delta coronavirus. The final is scheduled for July 11, and both semifinals should be played at Wembley. Restrictions were originally scheduled to end on June 21.
“We always have a contingency plan in place, but we believe the final week will take place in London,” UEFA said in a statement. Representatives of the organizers have already started negotiations with the British government and are trying to negotiate the same exception for EURO as, for example, the organizers of tennis Wimbledon.

The European Championship matches host 11 cities across the continent. Four duels will take place in Budapest, where fans can enter the stadium without capacity restrictions. Already in previous months, the local stadium offered asylum to several matches of the Champions League, the organization of which in their home countries was complicated by travel restrictions.
Hell didn’t happen, Schick kept Hampden to a minimum. Where did Czech fans come from?

The Hungarian association does not rule out that it would surprise even in the case of the EURO, if the situation required it. “The Hungarian organizers are concentrating on organizing four Budapest matches. However, the association is ready to host any top football event,” said a spokesman for the Hungarian association.
