The European Cup is a grand event of European football. It is held every four years and hosted by UEFA. European national teams participate in the European Cup. The European Cup was originally scheduled to be held in 2020, but due to the impact of the new championship epidemic, UEFA decided to postpone the game to June 11 to July 11, 2021, and still retain the name of "European Cup 2020". At the same time, in order to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the European Cup, this European Cup has adopted a tour competition system without a single host country, which will be held in 12 stadiums in 12 European cities. The semi-finals and finals will be held at Wembley Stadium in London.

The competition system of European Cup is divided into two stages: group match and knockout match. In the group stage, 24 teams were divided into six groups, four teams in each group. Each team played a game with the other three teams in the same group. The ranking was determined by the point system. Each game won 3 points, drew 1 point, and lost 0 point. If two or more teams have the same points, the ranking will be determined in the following order: the winning/losing relationship in the group, the goal difference in the group, the number of goals in the group, the score in fair competition, and the ranking of UEFA national teams. If the superior and inferior cannot be distinguished, a lot will be drawn. At the end of the group stage, a total of 16 teams will be promoted to the knockout stage, with the first two teams of each group and the third team of the four best teams.

In the knockout phase, 16 teams will conduct a single knockout match according to the predetermined match table, including the eighth final, quarter final, semi-final and final. If the game does not win or lose within 90 minutes, a 30 minute overtime game will be played. If the overtime game still does not win or lose, a penalty shoot out will be played. The draw rules for the knockout phase are as follows: Group A first against Group C second, Group B first against Group A third or Group B third or Group C third, Group C first against Group F third or Group E third or Group D third, Group D first against Group F second, Group E first against Group A second, Group F first against Group B third or Group A third or Group D third, Group E second against Group D second, The third in Group F or the third in Group E or the third in Group D versus the second in Group B.

The competition system and rules of the European Cup also take into account the impact of the new Champions League epidemic. UEFA has formulated a series of epidemic prevention measures, including regular nucleic acid testing for players, coaches, referees, staff and fans, limiting the number of spectators on the court, implementing social distance and wearing masks and other regulations. UEFA also stipulates that if a team is unable to send at least 8 players to participate in the game due to the epidemic, the game will be postponed to the next day or the third day. If it still fails, the game will be canceled and the other team will win by 3:0. If both teams are unable to send at least 8 players to participate in the game, the game will be canceled, and both sides will draw 0-0, and then draw lots to decide the outcome. If a team cannot reach the match site due to the epidemic, the match will be canceled and the other team will win 3-0. If both teams cannot reach the match place, the match will be canceled, and both sides will draw 0-0, and then draw lots to decide the winner.

The competition system and rules of the European Cup are designed to ensure the fairness and security of the competition, which also reflects the importance and response of UEFA to the epidemic of the new championship. This European Cup will be a special football feast and a test of human will and spirit. Let's look forward to the feast of European football and cheer for our favorite teams and players.
