The Football Association of Ireland and our Local Organising Structure (LOS) partners – Dublin City Council, the Government and the Aviva Stadium – have today been informed by UEFA of their decision to move the four scheduled EURO 2020 games out of Dublin this June due to the effects of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
Following a meeting of their Executive Committee this morning, UEFA confirmed to the FAI that the four EURO 2020 games have been moved due to the public health situation in Ireland. UEFA had required an assurance of a minimum of 25 per cent spectator attendance at each game which the Irish Government was unable to meet.
What has been decided?
UEFA confirmed the news on Friday following a meeting of its executive committee, at which it was agreed that Munich - which had also been at risk of losing games - would be allowed to remain as a host city as German authorities had guaranteed that at least 14,500 would be allowed to attend.
A statement read: The four matches initially scheduled to take place in Bilbao, will be moved to the Estadio La Cartuja in Seville. The hosting of these matches is supported by the Autonomous Community of Andalusia, which has confirmed its intention of allowing spectators at 30% of the stadium capacity for the three Group E matches and a round of 16 match.
