2020 UEFA Euro Cup
The 2020 UEFA Euro Cup, which was postponed last year due to the global novel coronavirus outbreak, will take place from June 11 to July 11, 2021, and Russia’s second largest city, St. Petersburg, has been selected as one of its host cities. It was one of the 12 cities originally proposed in Europe as the venue for European Championship games. St. Petersburg was granted the right to host three group matches and one of the quarter-finals of the 2020 UEFA Euro Cup.
On April 23, St. Petersburg received the right to host three more UEFA European Championship matches after Ireland’s Dublin and Spain’s Bilbao withdrew from organizing the European Football Championship games, citing anti-COVID-19 measures.
Following the elimination of Bilbao and Dublin from the list of host cities for the championship, the rescheduled UEFA Euro Cup 2020 will now be held in 11 cities, namely in London, England; Munich, Germany; Rome, Italy; Baku, Azerbaijan; St. Petersburg, Russia; Bucharest, Romania; Amsterdam, Netherlands; Budapest, Hungary; Glasgow, Scotland; Copenhagen, Denmark; and Seville, Spain.
