CCTV5 program list (January 13, 2024) - In 2013, UEFA announced an innovative plan to divide the 2020 European Cup competition into 13 places to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the European Cup. This is the first time in the history of the European Cup that a tour without a host country is used, and it is also a comprehensive demonstration and promotion of European football.
The European Cup is a national football match held by UEFA every four years. It is the highest honor of European football and one of the world football events. Since the first European Cup in 1960, a total of 10 countries have won the championship, including Germany and Spain each three times, France twice, the Soviet Union, Italy, Czechoslovakia, the Netherlands, Denmark, Greece and Portugal each once. The 2020 European Cup was originally scheduled to be held in 12 cities in Europe from June 11 to July 11, 2020. However, due to the impact of the new championship epidemic, the European Football Association announced on March 17, 2020 that the game would be postponed to the summer of 2021.
The President of UEFA Platini put forward the concept of Europeanization of the European Cup in 2013. The main contents are as follows: 1. The competition will be divided into 13 places, 12 of which are responsible for 3 group matches+1 elimination match (the top 16 or the top 8), and one of which is responsible for the final two semi-finals and the final. 2. Each region (football association) can have at most one host city. Each region (football association) will only use one stadium in the final circle. The venues for the semi-final and final are the same. 3. Each football association can propose 1-2 bid cities, one is responsible for the competition of ordinary competitions (group matches+early knockout matches), and the other is responsible for the competition of semi-finals and finals. 4. All hosts who qualify for Euro 2020 will play at least two games at home. 5. The current Champions League champion can directly enter the group stage of the next season's Champions League, provided that the defending champion seat of the Champions League is not occupied [1].
On September 19, 2014, the European Football Federation announced 13 host cities for the 2020 European Cup, including London, Munich, Baku, St. Petersburg, Rome, Copenhagen, Amsterdam, Dublin, Seville, Budapest, Bucharest, Glasgow and Paris. Among them, London's Wembley Stadium will host two semi-finals and finals, and Paris's Saint Denis Stadium will host the opening battle. These cities represent the diversity and culture of Europe, and also show the charm and influence of European football. The following information is about these cities:
