Wembley To Host Euro Final 20-20

England has won the right to host the final and semi-finals of Euro 2020. London's Wembley Stadium will stage the climax of the European Championship, the first time a major football tournament has been held in England since Euro 96. UEFA's executive committee awarded the final to Wembley ahead of Munich's Allianz Arena at a meeting in Geneva. UEFA also announced that Scotland and Ireland will host matches, but there was bitter disappointment for Wales who missed out in their bid for games at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium. The tournament is being staged in 13 cities across Europe to mark the 60th anniversary of the first European Championships. As well as London, Glasgow and Dublin, matches will be held in Munich, Baku, Rome, St Petersburg, Bilbao, Bucharest, Brussels, Budapest, Copenhagen and Amsterdam. FA chairman Greg Dyke said: "It will be a great honour to be part of what will surely be a superb celebration of 60 years of the UEFA European Championship. "This bidding process was open to more than 50 UEFA countries so for Wembley to be ultimately recognised in this way is testament to a lot of hard work behind the scenes. "It's nice to win one. Wembley is a great stadium and we are delighted to be hosting the finals of this tournament. “Wembley has been completely rebuilt since 1996 and it's now a beautiful stadium. "I would also like to say what a good idea this is when you sit and watch all these capital cities across Europe, what a good idea to play a tournament across all those, so congratulations to UEFA." Wembley won the rights to these three fixtures after it’s only other challenger – Munich’s Allianz Arena – was withdrawn by the German FA at the 11th hour. UEFA president Michel Platini, who made the announcement on Friday, added: "I know the party side of London, the way the English welcome people. "Wembley will doubtless live up to the responsibility." The Scottish FA also had a successful morning in Switzerland, winning the right to host one Round of 16 tie and three group games. Their chief executive Stewart Regan believes the backing of Sir Alex Ferguson and the success of the Commonwealth Games were key ingredients in their bid. He said: "Everyone saw what Glasgow was capable of with the Commonwealth Games, and that really put Glasgow on the map. It was a huge factor and we used that in our film. "Sir Alex Ferguson came in last week with a video in support of our bid and spoke passionately about it, and I am sure that must have helped. "We knew we had a strong bid. We focused on the fact this is the 60th anniversary and we focused on the history and heritage of football. “We knew Michel Platini was a football man and that's what we played strongest on and that's why we used Alex Ferguson.
