Euro 2020 is here – in program 2021. Thank you, COVID-19. You may have thought they would turn it into “Euro 2021” but no, UEFA – the European football organization that organizes it – is sticking to the Euro 2020 mark. on Sunday, July 11.
A month-long football festival. But Euro 2020 is very different from the previous one, for more than one reason. There is no single or united nation to hold here.
Instead, Euro 2020 will take place in 11 cities in 11 countries. In addition, Euro 2020 comes after the football season at a powerful club – and thankfully, COVID-19 – which has made fatigue a key word in the competition.
