UEFA Euro 2020, Planning England’s Route To The Final
England are heading to the UEFA Euro 2020 finals later this year and with the young talent on show in Southgates side, the whole country has high-hopes for this squad of players.
One big difference to this years tournament is that it is being billed as pan-european, ordinarily one nation would host the finals meaning football fans from all over Europe would flock to one country, possibly two as we have seen before in 2000 when Belgium & Holland hosted together or 2012 when Poland & Ukraine did the same. This time however, Euro 2020 is being held in 12 major cities across the continent.
This means although most teams will be playing the majority group games at one location. Once the group stages are done, those who qualify for the Round of 16 could be playing in one of a few stadiums around Europe. To use England as an example, all group games are at Wembley. If they top group D, they will play group F runners up in Dublin’s Aviva Stadium. If they come 2nd in group D, they will play the runners up from group E at Copenhagen’s Parken Stadium, so don’t book any flights to Dublin just yet.
Depending on the round of 16 results, we could be in for a quarter final either in Azerbaijan, Italy, Germany or Russia!
That Means A Lot Of Travelling For The Die Hard Fan
Yes, that does mean a lot of travelling for the hardcore fan who wants to see every game their team plays, but if you consider the travelling involved at the World Cup in Brazil, USA or Russia, a couple of hops around Europe doesn’t seem that bad at all. If you do intend to travel then you know where we are for your rental car needs, we have vehicles available at all major airports in Europe, or if you intend on driving from home to tour the stadiums of Europe then we have low cost european travel and cross border options for you too.
