On Wednesday, the deadline expired during which the host cities of the upcoming European football championship had to provide UEFA with guarantees about the presence of fans in the stands.
Some have guaranteed attendance, some have not, so UEFA will make the final decision at a meeting on April 19 on whether the Euro will be held in the cities that were previously assigned to host.
The European Championship is scheduled from June 11 to July 11. The host cities are planned to be Rome, London, Glasgow, Bilbao, Dublin, Copenhagen, Baku, Amsterdam, Budapest, Bucharest, Saint Petersburg and Munich.
London - "Wembley"
It is planned that seven matches will be played at "Wembley". There are three matches of the England national team in group D (against Scotland, the Czech Republic and Croatia), and one round of XNUMX match, as well as two semi-final matches and finally the final.
The British government has announced the full opening of the country from June 21. The Football Association has informed Uefa that up to 20 fans will be allowed at group stage matches, while later that number will be "significantly higher".
