Belgium will lose the organization of Euro 2020!

in #sport7 years ago

Such situations happen very rarely. On Thursday afternoon, UEFA is to announce that Brussels will lose the organization of the European Championship matches in 2020. Someone of two replace it: Stockholm - Cardiff.

The construction of Eurostadium is underway in Brussels, but there are no guarantees regarding its timely completion. UEFA has already lost patience and will soon announce a change of city to other cities. This information is provided by sport.tvp.pl, citing unofficial sources. The matter has already appeared in foreign media

Who will take the place of Brussels? Sharp fight is being waged by Cardiff (Principality Stadium) and Stockholm (Friends Arena). "Inside World Football" says Swedes have more chances, despite their smaller capacity. The European headquarters are to pass over Cardiff mainly because the Euro 2020 will be hosted in two other cities in Great Britain - Glasgow and London (the semi-finals and the final are planned for Wembley).

One of the Welsh activists believes that leaving Cardiff will be a political and geographical decision, because the offer from his federation is much better than what the Swedes have prepared.

Euro 2020 will be the first tournament played in the formula with up to 13 organizers. Originally, two Polish cities - Chorzów and Warsaw also tried to grant part of the meetings, but their candidacy dropped out at the selection stage.
