Wembley to host seven Euro 2020 matches

    Wembley is to host seven games during the 2020 European Championships after Brussels was ruled out.

    The Belgian capital lost the right to host matches as a new stadium is still being built and UEFA was unable to secure the necessary guarantees.

    Wembley was already scheduled to hold the semi-finals and final but will now also host three group games and a last 16 tie.

    The 2020 tournament, which runs from 12 June until 12 July that year, is the first European Championship to be played under a new format with group games spread across several countries, with the opening match to be played at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome.
