Seville will replace Bilbao as a host city for this summer s rearranged European Championship, with Spain set to play their three group games in the Andalusian city.
Bilbao was dropped as a venue on Thursday, with the Basque city s authorities unable to meet UEFA s requirements for fan attendance in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic.
European football s governing body wants guarantees from its 12 host cities that their respective stadiums will be at least 25% full, but restrictions currently in place in the Basque Country mean organisers in Bilbao are unable to make that commitment.

Paris (AFP)
Mohamed Salah raised his goal tally to 28 in all competitions this season by equalising for Liverpool in a 2-1 Premier League comeback win over Aston Villa at the weekend.
When the Egypt predator struck on 57 minutes at Anfield, it was the first open-play goal scored by the Reds since December 27.
Another consistent scorer has been Nigeria s Kelechi Iheanacho with nine in his last six appearances for Leicester, but a double at West Ham could not prevent a 3-2 defeat.
