THE UEFA EURO 2020 PATH The idea for a European for Europe (Euro for Europe) began in December 2012, when the proposal of the chairman at the time, Michel Platini, was approved by the UEFA Executive Committee in London. In April 2013 the invitation to submit the dossier was sent to the federations and the following September 32 expressions of interest were announced. On 25 April 2014, 19 cities submitted their application to UEFA: 2 (London and Munich) both for the standard package and for the final one; 17 for the standard package. On 10 September 2014, the technical assessment of UEFA was made official with a qualitative opinion on the applications. The document was sent to the members of the Executive Committee which, on 19 September in Geneva, awarded the semi-finals and final to London (Wembley), to Rome, Munich (Germany), St. Petersburg (Russia) and Baku (Azerbaijan) three matches of the first round and one quarter final; Copenhagen (Denmark), Bucharest (Romania), Amsterdam (Holland), Dublin (Ireland), Brussels (Belgium) Bilbao (Spain), Budapest (Hungary) and Glasgow (Scot;and) the first round matches and the round of sixteen.

On Wednesday, 17 June, and Sunday, 21 June (times to be defined) the other two matches of Group A will be played in Rome, chosen to host the opening game, while, as announced last 7 December, Baku will host the other three matches of the group on 13, 17 and 21 June.
