UEFA guidelines establish governing body’s minimum health and safety requirements for EURO 2020 match organisers.

UEFA is working closely with governments and health authorities at all host venues to safeguard the health of fans attending EURO 2020 matches this summer.

While local health regulations provide the primary reference point for ensuring fan's safety at each stadium, including attendance limits, they are supplemented by UEFA's own minimum criteria – set out in the organisation's Minimum Health & Hygiene Requirements for the Return of Spectators.

According to the eight-page document: "The objective of the Minimum Requirements is to ensure that, wherever spectators can be admitted to UEFA matches, match organisers adopt best practices based on medical advice to minimise the risk of infection."
Key areas of focus

Drawn up with the support of the UEFA Medical Committee chairman Prof Dr Tim Meyer and the third vice-chairman Dr Zoran Bahtijarević, the document sets minimum standards for:

• Arrival and departure protocols

• General hygiene measures

• Ticketing and seating

• Queue management

• Infected-person procedures

• Hospitality

• Food/beverage/retail stalls

• Ticket holders’ obligations

UEFA will update the minimum requirements to take account of any changes in COVID-19 circumstances, across Europe and within countries.

Comprehensive information on safety measures and attendance limits for each EURO host venue are available on UEFA’s EURO 2020 website.
What safety measures are planned to protect fans?

Based on its own minimum requirements and local public health guidelines, UEFA is introducing a range of safety measures to protect fans before, during and after games:

• Specified entry time slots for every ticket holder: fans will have a 30-minute window to arrive at the stadium to ensure adherence to social distancing guidelines.

• Hygiene: an average 800 hand sanitiser units will be placed at strategic points around each stadium. All EURO stadiums will be cleaned on a regular basis throughout match days.

• Queueing: clear floor markings will help fans maintain movement without compromising social distance regulations.

• Public awareness: safety measures will be promoted heavily throughout each stadium so everyone is aware of the rules.

• Cashless transactions: every venue will accept card payments, with many using contactless readers.

In a statement issued to Sky Sports News on Wednesday, UEFA said: "Since the tournament was announced, as to be staged across 12 countries, it has remained UEFA's intention to stage it in 12 countries."

UEFA has reiterated it intends to hold Euro 2020 across 12 countries this summer.

Earlier this week, Prime Minister Boris Johnson said the UK was prepared to stage more matches should any of the host countries be unable to fulfil their fixtures because of the coronavirus pandemic.

Wembley is already hosting seven games at the tournament, rearranged by a year, including all three of England's group matches along with both semi-finals and the final.

In a statement issued to Sky Sports News on Wednesday, a UEFA spokesperson said: "Since the tournament was announced, as to be staged across 12 countries, it has remained UEFA's intention to stage it in 12 countries."

The Football Association had dismissed the prospect of further matches being held in England on Tuesday.

The FA said: "UEFA is committed to holding UEFA EURO 2020 across 12 European cities, according to the schedule agreed last summer. There are no other plans being pursued.

"The FA's focus remains on delivering the seven games at Wembley inclusive of both semi-finals and the showpiece final and welcome all efforts being made by government to ensure as many fans can attend."

Amsterdam, Baku, Dublin, Glasgow and Rome are among the 12 originally named to host matches between June 11 and July 11.

Each host city has until April 5 to confirm the number of fans allowed in each stadium, before a final decision is made by the UEFA executive committee.

Who has made it to Euro 2020 and how will the tournament work?

Coronavirus has put Euro 2020 back a year to 2021, but 24 sides will still play across 12 host cities in a festival of football.

The top two teams from each of the 10 groups qualified for Euro 2020 and the four remaining positions were settled in the play-offs, with Scotland beating Serbia in a penalty shootout to join England and Wales at the tournament.
When and where is Euro 2020?

The 16th UEFA European Championship runs from June 11 to July 11, 2021, and to celebrate the tournament's 60th birthday, 12 cities across the continent have been selected as hosts. The 12 cities and stadiums are:

Amsterdam (Netherlands) - Johan Cruyff Arena
Baku (Azerbaijan) - Olympic Stadium
Bilbao (Spain) - San Mames
Bucharest (Romania) - Arena Nationala
Budapest (Hungary) - Puskas Arena
Copenhagen (Denmark) - Parken Stadium
Dublin (Republic of Ireland) - Aviva Stadium
Glasgow (Scotland) - Hampden Park
London (England) - Wembley Stadium
Munich (Germany) - Allianz Arena
Rome (Italy) - Stadio Olimpico
Saint Petersburg (Russia) - Krestovsky Stadium

Rome's Stadio Olimpico will host the opening match on June 11, while England's national stadium Wembley will stage both semi-finals and the final.

Euro 2020 scheduled to begin on June 11, with the final at Wembley on July 11; UEFA has back-up plans for 24-team tournament in case any of the 12 host cities are unable to play matches due to coronavirus concerns.

Euro 2020's fate will not be decided until March but UEFA is hoping vaccination efforts will allow the governing body to stick to its original plan.

The 24-nation showpiece, scheduled to begin on June 11, was postponed by 12 months after last year's COVID-19 outbreak.

The 2020 edition was planned to be the first staged across the continent, rather than by a single nation or joint hosts.

The host cities are Glasgow, Dublin, Bilbao, Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Munich, Rome, St Petersburg, Bucharest, Budapest and Baku, with the semis and final set for London's Wembley Stadium.

UEFA had hoped that a year-long wait would have allowed fans to be present at games but, with most football continuing to be held behind closed doors, that prospect depends on an improvement in the situation.

UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin is hoping vaccination programmes, moving at different speeds across the various host countries, will be the key to sticking to the original plan.

"Vaccination has started and I think we will be able to have full stands in the summer," Ceferin said in a recent interview with Serbian newspaper Informer.

"For now, the plan is to play in all 12 countries. Of course, there are backup options in case a country has a problem."

But Ceferin accepts that there may need to be some juggling of the hosting plan and perhaps different levels of stadium capacity use.

"We are ready to organise competitions in 11, 10 or nine cities... and even only in one country, if necessary. However, I am 99.9 per cent sure that we will have the European Championship in all 12 cities, as planned," he said.

UEFA confirmed it has been working on four operational scenarios - for full stadiums, 50-100 per cent capacity or 20-30 per cent capacity and games behind closed doors.

The host cities have been asked to come up with two to three plans out of those options and it is possible different approaches will be taken in each venue.

"A decision on which scenario will be applied individually in each city during the tournament will be made on 5 March 2021," UEFA said in a statement.

UEFA has announced that Qatar Airways will become the official airline of next summer’s tournament which will run from 11 June – 11 July 2021.

More than 28 million ticket requests for UEFA EURO 2020 shows an unprecedented level of fan interest in the first-ever Europe-wide edition of the European Championship.

Booking.com

UEFA EURO 2020, which will mark the tournament’s 60th anniversary by staging matches in 12 host countries across Europe this summer, has attracted a record number of ticket requests.

In the ticketing sales phase for fans of qualified teams in December 2019, supporters requested a record number of 8,977,427 tickets, which is more than three times the number of tickets requested during the same sales phase for UEFA EURO 2016.

Following on from last summer’s successful general public sales (12 June – 12 July), when there were 19.3 million ticket applications, there has been an unprecedented total of approximately 28.3 million ticket requests for 2.5 million available tickets. Significantly, the overall number of tickets requested for EURO 2020 is double the amount of the total tickets requested for UEFA EURO 2016 – which means that this year’s edition of the EURO is enjoying the highest ticket demand ever.

‘Fans First’ – affordable tickets for fans

Booking.com

The lowest-priced seats available at EURO 2020 matches accounted for more than half the tickets put on sale – €30 per ticket for group stage matches in Baku, Bucharest and Budapest, and €50 per ticket in other host cities. In addition, a total of 40,000 ‘Fans First’ tickets for the semi-finals and the final in London were available for less than €100.

Fans embrace Europe-wide tournament

These impressive numbers provide clear proof that fans are responding enthusiastically to the first-ever Europe-wide tournament, which will feature 12 different host countries and give eight cities their first-ever taste of a EURO tournament.

The final of UEFA EURO 2020, set to take place at London’s Wembley Stadium on 12 July, attracted more than 714,000 ticket requests – almost eight times the ground’s capacity. Similarly, the match between France and Germany, which will be staged in Munich on 16 June, attracted an impressive 710,000 requests for tickets. Aside from the 12 host countries, there has been strong demand for tickets from fans in neighbouring countries, including Finland, Austria, France and Poland.

Significantly, 64% of ticket applications came from fans within host countries, emphasising that UEFA EURO 2020 will bring football closer to more local football fans than ever before.

Next ticket sales in April for fans of teams who qualify through the play-offs

Fans of the four teams who qualify through the European Qualifiers play-offs will be able to apply online for EURO 2020 tickets in early April.

Any remaining tickets for any of the matches will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis closer to the tournament.

Official ticket re-sale platform

Fans wishing to re-sell their tickets will be able to do so via the official UEFA re-sale platform, which will go live at the end of February 2020. If tickets are sold, the original purchaser will receive their money back.
