Follow Us
Only 2 days remain for the European Championships to finally kick off this summer, and after a wait of more than 1 year, we cannot wait for it to start. However, this year’s tournament will be a bit different to the other years’ as it won’t be hosted in a particular country but will take place all over Europe.
UEFA named 11 host countries for the EURO 2020 with 13 venues initially scheduled to host matches this year, but 2 venues in Dublin and Bilbao have had their hosting rights stripped off as they failed to assure UEFA of allowing spectators inside the venues. We take a look at the Parken Stadium in Copenhagen which is one of the 11 venues for the European Championships this summer.
