Euro 2020 will kick-off as scheduled on June 11 in Rome after European football’s governing body Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) on Wednesday “fully confirmed” the Italian capital after receiving guarantees that fans would be present in the Stadio Olimpico.
Rome was one of four of the 12 host cites in the pan-European tournament threatened with having its matches removed because it could not give assurances that spectators would be allowed into grounds given the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic.
“The authorities have guaranteed at least 25 percent of the stadium’s capacity will be filled,” European football’s governing body said.
“As a result, UEFA considers Rome to be fully confirmed as a venue for the tournament.”
But uncertainty remains over three other cities – Munich, Bilbao and Dublin – who have been given until April 19 to provide UEFA with additional information on their plans for spectators
