The 2020 UEFA European Football Championship, commonly referred to as UEFA Euro 2020 or simply Euro 2020, is scheduled to be the 16th UEFA European Championship, the quadrennial international men's football championship of Europe organised by UEFA.[1]

The tournament is scheduled to be held in 12 cities in 12 UEFA countries from 12 June to 12 July 2020. Portugal are the defending champions, having won the 2016 edition. For the first time, the video assistant referee (VAR) system will be used at the UEFA European Championship.[2]

Former UEFA President Michel Platini said the tournament being hosted in several nations is a "romantic" one-off event to celebrate the 60th "birthday" of the European Championship competition.[3] Having the largest capacity of any of the stadiums entered for the competition, Wembley Stadium in London, England will host the semi-finals and final for the second time, having done so before at the 1996 tournament in its former incarnation. The Stadio Olimpico in Rome, Italy will host the opening game, involving Italy.

Bid process

Main article: UEFA Euro 2020 bids

While some countries had already expressed an interest in bidding to host Euro 2020,[4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] then-UEFA President Michel Platini suggested at a press conference on 30 June 2012, a day before the UEFA Euro 2012 Final, that instead of having one host country (or joint hosting by multiple countries) Euro 2020 could be spread over "12 or 13 cities" across the continent.[12] At the time, UEFA already used a similar system for the UEFA European Under-17 Championship's "Elite Round", where each of the seven groups is hosted by a different country.

European format decision

On 6 December 2012, UEFA announced the 2020 Finals would be held in multiple cities across Europe to mark the 60th anniversary of the tournament.[13][14] The selection of the host cities does not mean an automatic qualifying berth is awarded to the national team of that nation.

UEFA reasoned that the pan-European staging of the tournament was the logical decision at a time of financial difficulty across Europe.[15][16] Reaction to UEFA's plan was mixed across Europe.[17] Critics have cited the expanded format (from 31 matches featuring 16 nations to 51 featuring 24) and its associated additional costs as the decisive factor for only one nation (Turkey) having put forward a serious bid.[18]

Bidding venues

The final list of bids was published by UEFA on 26 April 2014, with a decision on the hosts being made by the UEFA Executive Committee on 19 September 2014. There were two bids for the Finals Package (of which one was successful, marked with blue for semi-finals and final) and 19 bids for the Standard Package (of which 12 were initially successful, marked with green for quarter-finals and group stage, and yellow for round of 16 and group stage); Brussels, marked with red, were initially selected but removed from the list of venues by UEFA on 7 December 2017 and the planned games there were moved to Wembley.[19][20][21]

Qualification

Main article: UEFA Euro 2020 qualifying

There is no automatic qualifying berth, and all 55 UEFA national teams, including the 12 national teams whose countries are scheduled to stage matches, must compete in the qualifiers for the 24 places at the finals tournament.[22][23] As the host cities were appointed by UEFA in September 2014, before the qualifiers of UEFA Euro 2020, it is possible for the national teams from the host cities to fail to qualify for the finals tournament.

The UEFA Euro 2020 qualifying draw was held on 2 December 2018 at the Convention Centre Dublin in Dublin, Republic of Ireland.[24]

The main qualifying process started in March 2019, instead of immediately in September 2018 following the 2018 FIFA World Cup, and is scheduled to end in November 2019. The format remains largely the same, although only 20 of the 24 spots for the finals tournament are to be decided from the main qualifying process, leaving four spots still to be decided. Following the admission of Kosovo to UEFA in May 2016, it was announced that the 55 members at the time would be drawn into ten groups after the completion of the UEFA Nations League (five groups of five teams and five groups of six teams, with the four participants of the UEFA Nations League Finals guaranteed to be drawn into groups of five teams), with the top two teams in each group qualifying. The qualifiers are scheduled to be played on double matchdays in March, June, September, October and November 2019.[25]

With the creation of the UEFA Nations League starting in 2018,[26][25][27][28] the 2018–19 UEFA Nations League is to be linked with UEFA Euro qualifying, providing teams another chance to qualify for Euro 2020. Four teams from each division that have not already qualified for the Euro finals are to compete in the play-offs for each division, to be played in March 2020. The winners of the play-offs for each division, to be decided by two "one-off" semi-finals (the best-ranked team vs. the fourth-best-ranked team, and the second-best-ranked team vs. the third-best-ranked team, played at home of higher ranked teams) and one "one-off" final (with the venue drawn in advance between the two semi-finals winners), are scheduled to join the 20 teams that have already qualified for the Euro finals.[28]

Venues

The venues were selected and announced by UEFA on 19 September 2014.[35] However, the UEFA Executive Committee removed Brussels as a host city on 7 December 2017 due to delays with the building of the Eurostadium. The four matches (three group stage, one round of 16) initially scheduled to be held in Brussels were reallocated to London. Therefore, Wembley Stadium will host a total of seven matches, as London was already chosen to host the semi-finals and final of the tournament.[36] On 7 December 2017, it was also announced that the opening match would take place at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, chosen ahead of Amsterdam, Glasgow, and Saint Petersburg. UEFA decided that, should they qualify, the opening match would feature Italy.[36][37]

Of the 12 selected cities and countries, 8 cities and 7 countries have never hosted a European Championship finals match before. Bilbao was not a venue when Spain hosted the 1964 European Nations' Cup, and none of Azerbaijan, Denmark, Hungary, Romania, Republic of Ireland, Russia, or Scotland has hosted the tournament previously. Of the 12 selected stadia, only 2 have hosted a European Championship match before: the Stadio Olimpico (1968 and 1980) and the Johan Cruyff Arena (2000). The original Wembley stadium hosted games and the final in UEFA Euro 1996, but although it stands on the same site this is classified as a different stadium to the current Wembley Stadium.

Each city will host three group stage matches and one match in the round of 16 or quarter-finals. The match allocation for the 12 stadiums is as follows:

The host cities were divided into six pairings, established on the basis of sporting strength (assuming all host teams qualify), geographical considerations, and security/political constraints. The pairings were allocated to groups by means of a random draw on 7 December 2017. Each qualified host country will play a minimum of two matches at home. The group venue pairings is as follows:[36]

The following criteria apply to define the home matches of host teams within the same group:[38]

  • If both host teams qualify directly or both advance to the play-offs, a draw will determine which team will play all three group stage matches at home (i.e. which will host the head-to-head match), and which will play only two matches at home.
  • If one host team qualifies directly, and the other advances to the play-offs or is eliminated entirely, the directly qualified host team will play all three group stage matches at home, and the other host, if qualified, will play only two.
  • If one host team advances to the play-offs, and the other is eliminated entirely, the host team in the play-offs, if qualified, will play all three group stage matches at home.
  • No action is necessary should both host teams fail to qualify.

If a host team in the play-offs fails to qualify, the path winner will take the spot of the host in the match schedule, and therefore will play the two or three matches based on the above criteria in the host city of the respective host which failed to qualify. The draw, if necessary, will take place on 22 November 2019, 12:00 CET, at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland (along with the draw for the play-offs).[39] In the draw, two balls will be prepared, with the first drawn hosting the three matches.

Draw

The draw for the final tournament will be held on 30 November 2019, 18:00 CET (19:00 local time, EET) at Romexpo in Bucharest, Romania.[40][41][42][43] The 24 teams are drawn into six groups of four. The identity of the four play-off teams are not known at the time of the draw, and will be identified as play-off winners A to D. If there were groups which could not be finalised at the time of the final tournament draw, another draw would have been held after the play-offs on 1 April 2020.[1]

The teams are seeded in accordance with the European Qualifiers overall ranking based on their results in UEFA Euro 2020 qualifying. The following is the standard composition of the draw pots:[44]

  • Pot 1: Group winners ranked 1–6
  • Pot 2: Group winners ranked 7–10, group runners-up ranked 1–2
  • Pot 3: Group runners-up ranked 3–8
  • Pot 4: Group runners-up ranked 9–10, play-off winners A–D (identity unknown at the time of the draw)

As two host teams from the same group could not be in the same seeding pot, the UEFA Emergency Panel would have either switched one host team with the lowest-ranked team of the higher pot, or switched one host team with the highest-ranked team of the lower pot (based on the principle that the move would have minimal impact on the original seeding). However, no seeding adjustments were necessary.

The draw will start with Pot 1 and will complete with Pot 4, from where a team is drawn and assigned to the first available group. The position in the group (for the determination of the match schedule) will then be drawn. In the draw, the following conditions apply (including for teams which can still qualify via the play-offs):

  • Automatic group assignments: Host teams will be automatically assigned to their group based on the host city pairings.
  • Prohibited clashes: For political reasons, UEFA have set pairs of teams which are considered prohibited clashes. In addition to being unable to be drawn into the same group, non-host teams are prevented from being drawn into a group hosted by a country they clash with, even should the host not qualify. These prohibited clashes apply to the following pairings: Kosovo / Russia, Russia / Ukraine.[45] (Kosovo / Bosnia and Herzegovina and Kosovo / Serbia were also identified as prohibited clashes, but the teams in these pairs are all in the play-offs and are all in Pot 4 for the draw.)

A possible culmination of circumstances surrounding the play-offs makes anticipating all possible scenarios impossible. As such, potential issues and their solutions will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis by the UEFA administration. For example, the following conditions could apply based on which teams qualify via the play-offs:[38]

  • If two host teams are competing in the same play-off path, the winner of this play-off path would therefore need to be assigned two groups in the final tournament draw. In such a case, a second play-off path would be paired with the path involving two hosts, providing a clear scenario for each possible qualified team. (For example, if the hosts of Groups A and D were competing in play-off Path 1, their path could then be paired with Path 2. Should the Group A host win Path 1, they will enter Group A in the final tournament, and the winner of Path 2 will enter Group D. Otherwise, all other scenarios will result in the Path 1 winner entering Group D, and the Path 2 winner entering Group A.)
  • If a host team is competing in the a play-off path with a team which has a prohibited clash with one of the two host cities of the aforementioned host team's group, the path would be paired with a second play-off path to provide a clear scenario for each possible qualified team.

The fixtures for the group stage will be decided based on the draw, as follows:

Note: Positions for scheduling do not use the seeding pots, and instead use the draw positions, e.g. Team 1 is not necessarily the team from Pot 1 in the draw.

Squads

Each national team has to submit a squad of 23 players, three of whom must be goalkeepers, at least ten days before the opening match of the tournament. If a player becomes injured or ill severely enough to prevent his participation in the tournament before his team's first match, he can be replaced by another player.[1]

Group stage

UEFA announced the tournament schedule on 24 May 2018.[46][47] The kick-off times of the group stage and round of 16 matches will be announced after the final draw.

Group winners, runners-up, and the best four third-placed teams advance to the round of 16.

Times are CEST (UTC+2), as listed by UEFA. If the venue is located in a different time zone, the local time is also given.

Tiebreakers

If two or more teams are equal on points on completion of the group matches, the following tie-breaking criteria are applied:[1]

  1. Higher number of points obtained in the matches played between the teams in question;
  2. Superior goal difference resulting from the matches played between the teams in question;
  3. Higher number of goals scored in the matches played between the teams in question;
  4. If, after having applied criteria 1 to 3, teams still have an equal ranking (e.g. if criteria 1 to 3 are applied to three teams that are level on points initially and these criteria separated one team from the other two who still have an equal ranking), criteria 1 to 3 are reapplied exclusively to the matches between the teams who are still level to determine their final rankings. If this procedure did not lead to a decision, criteria 5 to 10 apply;
  5. Superior goal difference in all group matches;
  6. Higher number of goals scored in all group matches;
  7. Higher number of wins in all group matches;
  8. If on the last round of the group stage, two teams are facing each other and each has the same number of points, as well as the same number of goals scored and conceded, and the score finishes level in their match, their ranking is determined by a penalty shoot-out. (This criterion is not used if more than two teams are tied.);
  9. Fair play conduct (1 point for a single yellow card, 3 points for a red card as a consequence of two yellow cards, 3 points for a direct red card);
  10. Position in the European Qualifiers overall ranking.

Knockout phase

Main article: UEFA Euro 2020 knockout phase

In the knockout phase, if a match is level at the end of normal playing time, extra time is played (two periods of 15 minutes each), where each team is allowed to make a fourth substitution.[48] If still tied after extra time, the match is decided by a penalty shoot-out to determine the winners.[1]

As with every tournament since UEFA Euro 1984, there is no third place play-off.


Times are CEST (UTC+2), as listed by UEFA. If the venue is located in a different time zone, the local time is also given.

Logo and slogan

The official logo was unveiled on 21 September 2016, during a ceremony at the City Hall in London. The logo depicts the Henri Delaunay Trophy surrounded by celebrating fans on a bridge, representing how football connects and unifies people.[66][67]

Each individual host city also has their own unique logo. The rectangular logos feature the text "UEFA EURO 2020" on the top, the city name above the text "host city" on the bottom (all in uppercase), the main tournament logo on the left, and a local bridge on the right. Each logo exists in English, along with variations in the local language when applicable. The logos were unveiled from September 2016 to January 2017.

On 19 May 2019, UEFA announced the official slogan of the tournament: Live It. For Real. The slogan is meant to encourage fans to see the matches live in the stadiums across Europe.[80]

Match ball

On 6 November 2019, UEFA announced that the Uniforia by Adidas would be the official match ball for the tournament. The ball, coloured predominately white, features black strokes with blue, neon, and pink stripes. The name is derived from a portmanteau of "unity" and "euphoria".[81]

Mascot

The official mascot of the tournament, Skillzy, was unveiled on 24 March 2019. The character is inspired by freestyle football, street football and panna culture.[82]

Official song

On 19 October 2019, Dutch DJ and record producer Martin Garrix was announced as the official music artist of the tournament.[83] He will produce the official song of the tournament, as well as the walkout music preceding matches and the television broadcast music. The tournament song, which will be released in early 2020, will be first performed on 12 June 2020 at the opening ceremony at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome.[84]
