to play some of the 2020 euro games in their respective countries more details on saturday morning(26 april 2014) Final decision will be made on FRIDAY 19 September 2014
Is this idea of hosting it in 13 countries a good one? My gut feeling is no, because UEFA are only behind FIFA in getting things wrong Hopefully Wembley will get the final
The 13 Cities should be: London (wembley) Dublin (aviva stadium) Cardiff (millennium stadium) Manchester (old Trafford ) Madrid (Bernabea) Barcelona ( new camp) Milan (San siro) Munich (Allianz arena) Dortmund (Wesfalendstadium) Paris (Stade de France) Glasgow (Celtic park) Berlin (olympiastadium) Stockholm Vienna
I had a look on Wikipedia and Turkey must be building at least 10 new stadiums. Wembley has to have the final as it has the highest capacity by 15,000 Why aren't the nou camp and Bernabea in their or the San siro?
Catalona thinks its NOT part of Spain,and so it might be a case of they need to have a Country wide united front.
Munich or Wembley for the finals package. Although Munich's ground has a capacity below the 70000 stated as required by EUFA
Forget the Millenium, the Welsh public openly slate football and blindly follow the egg chasing game, so why give them a top football tournament over other nations. When they use and get large crowds for football at the Millenium then they should be reconsidered, but not above Wembley or the Bernabau, or Twickenham for that matter!!
Anyone travelling to the Millenium stadium will know that traffic to and from is horrendous you only need one accident or breakdown near the Brynglass tunnel and end of story, not only that but you have to pay to get accross the bridge (to a French Company. Even though I live in Cardiff wouldn't want games to be played there.
I think the idea of having it in multiple countries is ludicrous. The whole point is to inject the competition with the indigenous flavour of the host nation. This will just leave it cold and irrelevant. Its typical of the clueless and money grabbing cretins who run football. Nearly as ridiculous as FIFA, but at least UEFA are consistent
I heard the other day that the lease could be up soon, so hopefully another country can own the bridge. Also when the traffics bad go via Nash of junction 22 Magor Llanwern gates turn left follow signs and you come out onto the SDR and rejoin at Junction 28. Keep it quiet mind don't want everyone knowing it.
Totally agree- One country or more recently two has always hosted it and more often than not, put on a show. Its a bit like the Champions League where the 4th best team in the league can be champions of Europe- I preferred the old European cup in which only the winners went in and that produced a real champion. Games all about money and if having 13 countries stage it means more income, that's how it will be.
