After a year’s delay, the European Championship is finally happening this summer. And this is considered as one of the biggest soccer tournaments, of course, after the World Cup. Although the European soccer championship is happening in 2021, the term given to it is Euro 2020.
These games included 24 teams and 11 cities. But traditionally, it used to be only one or two countries. However, the European soccer’s governing body and UEFA decided to have the games played around several cities in Europe.
It’s a choice that many didn’t support due to the intrinsic logistical barriers of managing several sites that are far apart. It was just before the first game started that the Covid-19 strike and Dublin lost its games. Then several matches in Spain shifted from Bilbao to Seville.
So, the 11 European cities hosting these games include Amsterdam, Baku, Budapest, Bucharest, Rome, Copenhagen, London, Munich, Seville, St. Petersburg, Glasgow.
Italy vs. Turkey is the first game to be played in Rome on June 11. Then the knockout stages start on June 26, followed by the semi-finals, and finals will play at Wembley Stadium in London. On July 11.
Who are the Qualifiers?
A total of twenty-four teams qualified for the Euro 2020 tournament. Including all the major European powers, you would imagine France, England, Spain, Germany, and Italy. And the new rules favored the low-profile countries that usually miss out. And such was North Macedonia, which qualified for the first time, and Finland made its debut by entering traditionally.
And this is how the Tournament works…
The 24 teams that qualified get divided into six groups of four. Then each plays three games in the preliminary round. These include the top two teams from each group. And the four of the six third-place teams proceed to a 16-team knockout round.
How do you Play?
Every bettor has their favorite team that they think will win. While the tournament is quite open, France seems like the favorite one at this stage. England follows as the second favorite, and Belgium, Spain, Portugal, Italy, and Netherland also have a great chance. Finally, Hungary and Slovakia both have a long shot at 500-1 or more.
