I have tickets to the England game on 23rd June

 

I have tickets to that one too. It's a shame it ended up being against the Czech Republic.

Doesn't really bode well for the tournament this summer if the coronavirus still is in effect. The new Bond movie has been moved to November.

No it doesn't especially given the opening game is in Rome. I wouldn't be surprised if it was postponed.

 

They will most likely play the first match behind closed doors like they are doing for some Serie A matches. I don't think they would cancel the whole tournament.

Euro 2020 has been postponed by one year until 2021 because of the coronavirus pandemic.

 

European football's governing body made the decision during an emergency video conference involving major stakeholders on Tuesday.

 

The tournament, due to take place from 12 June-12 July this summer, will now run from 11 June to 11 July next year.

Slovakia v Republic of Ireland in doubt apparently.

 

Playoffs will be in June at this point!

Group A:

Turkey

Italy

Wales

Switzerland

 

Group B:

Denmark

Finland

Belgium

Russia

 

 

Group C:

Netherlands

Ukraine

Austria

North Macedonia

 

Group D:

England

Croatia

Scotland

Czech Republic

 

Group E:

Spain

Sweden

Poland

Slovakia

 

Group F:

Hungary

Portugal

France

Germany

North Macedonia apparently debut entry, I think Finland are another country.

 

England's group looks a bit tough on paper, if we beat Scotland and Czech Republic in the group games, they could progress. Croatia will be the strongest to beat, since we lost in the semi's with them in the World Cup tournament.

 

Group F looks like the group of death with France, Germany and Portugal.

I have tickets to that one too. It's a shame it ended up being against the Czech Republic.

 

I thought this was gonna be what is now confirmed as England vs Scotland, shame!

 

Everything crossed these games still actually go ahead with crowds mind.

Boris Johnson had confirmed that we have offered to host more games this year! Would be amazing if it ends up happening. I have tickets for the England/Czech Republic game that’s due to be played the day after all lockdown restrictions are meant to end and I’m really hoping it’s going to happen.

 

He also confirmed that The U.K. & Ireland are going to make a combined World Cup 2030 bid!

Glasgow and Dublin are at growing risk of being cut from the list of hosts for this summer's European Championship.

 

With fewer than 100 days until the delayed Euros, Uefa wants each of the countries staging matches to submit their plans - including for the return of fans - by a deadline of 7 April.

 

Organisers say they still hope to stage matches at the 12 venues as planned.

 

But the Scottish and Irish governments are yet to provide assurances whether fans will be allowed back by June.

Uefa has confirmed that eight of the 12 host cities for this summer's Euro 2020 will have spectators attending games.

 

The four remaining cities - Munich, Rome, Bilbao and Dublin - have until 19 April to provide additional information on their plans before final decisions are made whether they can host matches.

 

The tournament, delayed a year because of the coronavirus pandemic, will take place between 11 June and 11 July.

 

Host associations had been asked to submit plans to accept fans by 7 April.

 

London, Glasgow, Dublin, Amsterdam, Copenhagen, St Petersburg, Bilbao, Munich, Budapest, Baku, Rome and Bucharest are all due to host matches.

 

Budapest is aiming to host spectators at full capacity, while Baku and St Petersburg have confirmed a 50% capacity, although the Russian city is hoping to increase that figure.

The Football Association of Wales has noted the decision of The Crown Prosecution Service to proceed with charging Ryan Giggs, the Men’s National Team Manager.

 

In light of this decision, the FAW can confirm that Robert Page will assume the role of Cymru Men’s National Team manager for this summer’s EURO 2020 tournament and will be assisted by Albert Stuivenberg.

 

An FAW Board meeting will be convened to discuss these developments and its impact on the Association and the National Team.

Wembley will host a second Euro 2020 last-16 tie, which could involve England, after Uefa’s executive committee confirmed Dublin and Bilbao would step down as host cities.

 

With Gareth Southgate’s side set to play their three group matches at home, the decision to switch a last-16 tie on 29 June from Dublin to London means England would face the runners-up in Group F, which includes Germany, Portugal and France, at Wembley if they win Group D. Any quarter-final would be away from Wembley, which is due to host the semi-finals and final.

 

“We’re delighted to be able to help Uefa in staging the extra game,” said the Football Association’s chief executive, Mark Bullingham. “They asked us a couple of weeks ago whether we would be able to help out and we also liaised with the Irish FA to see if they were comfortable, which they were. It’s an incredibly tough route to the final for us but this gives an opportunity for the Three Lions to play another game at home, which is obviously brilliant.”

 

Seville will step in to host all of Spain’s group matches and a last-16 tie. The group games scheduled for Dublin are moving to St Petersburg, meaning the Russian venue has seven fixtures. Munich will retain its three group fixtures and quarter-final after presenting a plan to allow at least 14,500 fans into the 75,000-capacity Allianz Arena.

 

Dublin and Bilbao have lost hosting right after being unable to offer Uefa the fan guarantees needed. The German football federation agreed a plan for Munich despite rising infection numbers in the country.

 

Uefa said tickets for matches in Bilbao and Dublin would be cancelled and refunded, and ticket buyers would receive priority access to tickets in the reassigned venues. It said the Andalusian regional authorities had told it the venue in Seville – Estadio La Cartuja stadium – would be at 30% capacity.

 

It is understood the FA also put forward Newcastle’s St James’ Park as a venue to host extra games but was not taken up on its offer. Manchester United and Manchester City are believed to have rejected the opportunity for their stadiums to be put forward but the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is understood never to have come under consideration because the government favoured a venue in a “northern powerhouse” city if Wembley were not used.

Shame we didn't get a game up north :P Although it doesn't really make a difference for me where the games are hosted, it is a shame that some cities have had to step down though.
