Full Euro 2020 Calendar: Who Plays, Whom and Where
The draw for the Euro 2020 championship took place today. The tournament will be held in 12 cities across 12 countries.
Who will play at Euro 2020
20 teams are already known, and four more will be determined on March 31 in the qualifying play-offs — 24 participants in total.
Unlike the host countries of previous tournaments, no team qualified automatically for the European Championship (because there are 12 hosts this time). 20 teams — the top two teams from each qualifying group.
In the qualifying play-offs next March, the 16 best teams from the 2018/19 Nations League who did not advance through the qualifying tournament will play.
Who will host Euro 2020
On the initiative of former UEFA president Michel Platini, it was decided to hold the tournament not in one or two countries, but in 12 (initially there were 13, but Brussels did not finish building its stadium in time and was replaced).
- London (England)
- Glasgow (Scotland)
- Baku (Azerbaijan)
- Rome (Italy)
- Saint Petersburg (Russia)
- Bucharest (Romania)
- Amsterdam (Netherlands)
- Budapest (Hungary)
- Bilbao (Spain)
- Copenhagen (Denmark)
- Dublin (Ireland)
- Munich (Germany)
If a team from one of the host countries makes it to the tournament, it is automatically placed in the group with its city. That is why Romania will be placed in Group C with Ukraine if it wins qualifying play-off A; but if not, the winner of this same play-off will play in Group F, because it could be Hungary.
