Agreement reached between the UK government and UEFA to increase the attendance at Wembley to 75 per cent capacity for the climax of this summer’s pan-European staging of the Euros; Semi-finals and final will see the largest crowds assembled at a sporting event in the UK in over 15 months.
The semi-finals and final of Euro 2020 will be held in front of more than 60,000 fans at Wembley following talks held between the UK government and UEFA.
Reports had indicated Budapest could replace Wembley as the venue amid concerns around England’s coronavirus restrictions, while Italy also put forward Rome.
However, an agreement has been reached between the UK government and UEFA to increase the attendance at Wembley to 75 per cent capacity for the climax of this summer’s pan-European staging of the Euros.
UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin said: “This tournament has been a beacon of hope to reassure people that we are returning to a more normal way of life and this is a further step along that road.
“I am grateful to the Prime Minister and the UK government for their hard work in finalising these arrangements with us, to make the tournament final stages a great success in Wembley.”
