According to the Daily Mail, the 12 host cities of Euro 2021 have indicated to UEFA that they will be able to host public in stadiums. Aleksander Ceferin, UEFA president, warned those cities that they would lose the venue if they could not confirm before the deadline, this Wednesday, April 7, that they are in a position to host at least a certain number of spectators.
But it is expected that all of them confirm this Wednesday that they will be able to host public, although some of them only 10 percent of the capacity of their stadiums. And that figure may not be enough for Ceferin and UEFA. According to the Irish Times newspaper, the Government of Ireland has been required 25 percent of the capacity of the Dublin Arena.
Decision, April 20
It is April 20 when UEFA expects to make a final decision on whether or not each city continues to host the European Championship, which will be held from June 11 to July 11.
Copenhagen and Saint Petersburg are convinced that they will be able to accommodate the amount of public required by UEFA. The Danish capital believes that there will be more than 12,000 spectators, 30 percent of capacity, in its 4 games. The Gazprom Arena in Saint Petersburg has already welcomed 22,500 Zenit fans in recent weeks.
According to English media, Wembley would have told UEFA that it will be able to house 45,000 (half the capacity). As in the case of Dublin, there were doubts about Glasgow, Bilbao and Baku, but it seems that now they see it more feasible to host a public during the European Championship.
