After England played six consecutive matches at Wembley to win the 55 World Cup 1966 years ago, the football team could play six more at the same venue at this year's European Championship.
Nine of the 24 teams in the postponed European Championship will play in their own countries, but no city has more games than London.
England's three matches in Group D will be played at Wembley, and the team could stay in London for the round of XNUMX if they finish first in the group.
From there, the team could head to Rome for the quarter-finals, before returning to Wembley for the semi-finals and final.
Five other teams will also play all of their group games at home, including three-time champions Germany and Spain, who will play in Munich and Seville, respectively.
Also, Italy will play its matches in the group in Rome, the Netherlands will stay in Amsterdam, while Denmark will play its matches in Copenhagen.
Hungary (Budapest), Russia (St. Petersburg) and Scotland (Glasgow) will each play two group stage games at home.
In theory, these nine teams have an advantage as they will play at least some of their games at home, but that will change if they get through the group.
Italy will open the tournament at the Stadio Olimpico against Turkey on June 11, before taking on Switzerland and Wales. However, winning the first or second place in the group sends the Italians far from home.
The other hosts, with the possible exception of England, would play their round of XNUMX matches on the sidelines.
The toughest group seems to be Group F, which includes France, Germany, Portugal and Hungary. The national teams of Germany and Hungary will play at home, and those games against the world and European champions could be crucial.
However, being a host does not guarantee ultimate success.
The last team to host and eventually win the European Championship was France in 1984, at a time when Michel Platini was still ruling the midfield and scoring goal after goal.
Some of the host teams came close to that goal, including France, which reached the final again five years ago, and Portugal did the same in 2004. West Germany, Sweden, England and the Netherlands also reached the semi-finals as hosts or co-hosts.
France was also the last World Cup host to win the title at home, in 1998.
