EURO 2020 has to be postponed for a year because of the COVID-19 pandemic, much to our disappointment. It’s been a problematic break for all football fans, but today we can finally start to rejoice again! A summer of European football and high emotions is just waiting in the future.
The tournament featured 24 teams, and the Union of European Football Associations has picked 11 towns throughout the continent to host the sites to commemorate the game’s 60th anniversary. UEFA stated last year that the location would remain the same.
The EURO 2020 matches will be held in:
● London (England) – Wembley Stadium
● Munich (Germany) – Allianz Arena
● Rome (Italy) – Stadio Olimpico
● Amsterdam (Netherlands) – Johan Cruyff Arena
● Seville (Spain) – La Cartuja Stadium
● Glasgow – Hampden Park
● Baku (Azerbaijan) – Olympic Stadium
● St. Petersburg (Russia) – Krestovsky Stadium
● Bucharest (Romania) – Arena National
● Budapest (Hungary) – Puskás Aréna
● Copenhagen (Denmark) – Parken Stadium
We have famous football stadiums set up for some great matches, including Stadio Olimpico, Hampden Park, and Allianz Arena. The world-class Wembley Stadium stands out, preparing to host the EURO 2020 semi-finals and final.
The event will feature almost all of Europe’s finest national football teams and a couple of promising EURO debutants.
Group A
In Group A, we may expect to witness football’s powerhouse and repeated EURO winners, Italy, face off against the likes of Turkey and Switzerland, as well as the Euro 2016 semifinalists, Wales.
Group B
Belgium, the European football powerhouse that won every game in qualifying, is in Group B, with Russia, Denmark, and the intriguing EURO football first-timers from Finland, who made it through the qualifiers.
Group C
In Group C, fan favorites the Netherlands will have to face Ukraine, who is undefeated in qualifying rounds and Austria, and EURO newcomer North Macedonia for the top spot.
Group D
We’re excited about the ‘Battle of Britain’ in Group D, which pits England and Scotland against one another. A talented Croatian team and the Czech Republic are also competing for a spot in 16 here.
Group E
The matches in Group E were exciting as Spain, the back-to-back European Champions in 2008 and 2012, is looking to secure first place over Sweden, Poland, and Slovakia.
Group F
With the great football nations, Germany and France, and titleholders Portugal, battling it out for a spot in the knockout phase, Group F is undoubtedly this year’s dynamite group. But who knows, Hungary might surprise us as well.

EURO 2020 Most Awaited Matches
England vs. Scotland; 8 pm Kick-off on June 18
The Three Lions will meet old rivals Scotland five days after the exciting standoff between England and Croatia. The last time the two sides met was in a World Cup qualifier in June 2017, when they drew 2-2 at Hampden. The previous year, England won 3-0 at Wembley Stadium, with Daniel Sturridge, Adam Lallana, and Gary Cahill. The last match between the two teams was won by England 3-1 in Scotland in 2014, making it five wins in the previous eight games between the two sides. Southgate’s squad will be optimistic about securing a crucial three points at the Euros on June 18.
Spain vs. Poland; 8 pm Kick-off on June 19)
Robert Lewandowski is well aware of Spain’s pressures: in 2012, he scored the tournament’s first goal for Poland on home soil in Warsaw. Now in his third EURO, Lewandowski is meeting his high expectations, and he’ll be hoping to carry over some of his excellent form against Liga opponents in the UEFA Champions League to this match. Surprisingly, these two countries have only played competitively twice previously, both in the build-up to the inaugural EURO finals. In a round of 16 games in 1959, Spain won 4-2 on the road and 3-0 at home, with Alfredo Di Stéfano scoring three goals in both games. Who will make an outstanding impression in this encounter?
The Czech Republic vs. England; 8 pm Kick-off on June 22
England will play against the Czech Republic in their final group stage match of the summer. In 2019, the two sides played in the World Cup qualifications, and they will now compete for the opportunity to go to the UEFA EURO 2020 final. England defeated the Czech Republic 5-0 at Wembley in March 2019, with Raheem Sterling scoring a hat-trick, but the Czech Republic won the rematch 2-1 at the Eden Arena in Prague. Thus, the Czech Republic will not be taken lightly.
Portugal vs. France; 8 pm Kick-off on June 23
Portugal had lost ten consecutive games to France until winning the EURO 2016 final 1-0 in extra time, the latest of many dramatic confrontations between the two countries in this championship. Since then, France has won their second World Cup and dethroned Portugal in the UEFA Nations League, with Les Bleus reaching the finals with a 0-0 home draw and a 1-0 triumph in Lisbon. Who do you think will be on top this time?
Germany vs. Hungary; 8 pm Kick-off 8 pm on June 23
There is no hiding place in Group F. We have already welcomed Portugal and France to Budapest, and we should also anticipate Hungary as they now face their co-hosts, Germany. Their goal is to advance until knockout stage for the first time since reaching the round of 16 in 2016, when they topped a group that included the eventual winners, Portugal, after a 44-year gap. It will be their third competitive meeting with Germany, but both of their previous encounters were game-changers. In the 1954 World Cup group stage, the Mighty Magyars thrashed West Germany 8-3, only for Sepp Herberger’s team to reverse the tables in the final, winning 3-2 in Berne despite falling two goals behind within eight minutes.
The European 2021 competition promises to be star-studded, with powerful teams competing against one another in the group round. It gets more interesting as the game goes, from the group stage to the knockout round, semi-finals, and finals. Having a favorite team makes it much more enjoyable to immerse yourself in the various stadium atmospheres.
