In other Euro 2020 news, The UEFA has asked all the hosting cities to give them stadium capacity guarantees by April.  The 12 hosts that are all set and prepared to host the upcoming Euro 2020 have been asked to share their assessment of the Coivd-19 situation and give UEFA minimum guarantee by putting forward their position across to the organiser.

UEFA does not want all the cities to wait until the last moment which could risk the cancellation of any matches and has thus asked the hosting cities along with their governing bodies to provide them with different scenarios. As uncertainty remains over the availability of fans in the stadium, UEFA has asked all the twelve cities to share their capacity ranging from 100 per cent to playing the matches behind closed doors.
