Six cities have applied to host the European Championship match in 2020, UEFA Secretary General Theodoridis said. Yesterday, Russia was the last country to apply for the opening match of the championship that will not have a host country but will be held in different cities. The Russians participate with St. Petersburg. The decision of which stadium will be the start of Euro 2020 will be taken in the first half of 2018 in February or June, when two meetings of the UEFA Executive Committee will be held, Teodoridis told journalists in Kolkata, where a meeting of the FIFA Council is held.


The remaining five stadiums are in Munich, Copenhagen, Glasgow, Rome and Baku. It is clear that Dublin will host the qualifying draw and London will accept both semi-finals and the final match. The championship itself will be held from June 12 to July 12, 2020, and the format was proposed by former European Football Association President Michel Platini with the idea of ??celebrating the 60th anniversary of the first continental championship.
