CCTV5 program list (January 17, 2024) - The European Football Association (UEFA) announced today the adjustment of the rules of the European Cup. In order to cope with the impact of the new coronal epidemic, the European Cup originally scheduled to be held in 12 cities will be reduced to 8 cities, namely London, Rome, Munich, St. Petersburg, Amsterdam, Seville, Copenhagen and Bucharest. This means that the original host cities Barcelona, Dublin, Glasgow and Bilbao will no longer host the European Cup, and their matches will be reassigned to other cities.
The adjustment of the tournament schedule rules of the European Cup has also brought some changes to the competition between the top 16. The original qualified teams of Group A, Group B, Group C and Group D will hold the quarterfinals in London, Rome, Munich and St. Petersburg, while the original qualified teams of Group E, Group F, Group G and Group H will hold the quarterfinals in Amsterdam, Seville, Copenhagen and Bucharest. Such an arrangement will make some strong teams face more travel fatigue in the knockout rounds, and also make some weak teams enjoy more home advantage in the knockout rounds.
According to the draw result of the European Cup group match, the team that is out of Group A will face the team that is out of Group B, the team that is out of Group C will face the team that is out of Group D, the team that is out of Group E will face the team that is out of Group F, and the team that is out of Group G will face the team that is out of Group H. Such a match will make some traditional strong teams face a life and death battle in the eighth finals, such as England, Germany, France, Portugal and other teams. They will fight in different cities to compete for seats in the quarter finals.
The adjustment of the schedule rules of the European Cup has also brought some changes to the schedule of the top 16. The original quarterfinals will be held from June 25 to June 28, while the current quarterfinals will be held from June 26 to June 29, with two matches every day, at 6:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. respectively. Such an arrangement will allow fans more time to watch the game and players more time to rest and prepare.
The adjustment of the schedule rules of the European Cup is to ensure the smooth progress of the game, and also to protect the health and safety of players and fans. This is a necessary measure and a reasonable decision. The adjustment of the European Cup schedule rules has also brought more suspense and highlights to the game, which is a favorable change and also an interesting challenge. The adjustment of the rules of the European Cup will make the competition between the top 16 more exciting and intense. This is an expected event, and it is also worth watching. The adjustment of the European Cup schedule rules will let us see more surprises and highlights. This is a feast that can not be missed, but also an unpredictable adventure.
