About three weeks ago, UEFA President Alexander Chaprin admitted that he was considering changing Euro 2020 (postponed to summer 2021), and significantly reducing the number of hosts. The original plan was to hold the tournament in 12 different countries - England, Germany, Italy, Azerbaijan. Russia, Hungary, the Netherlands, Romania, Denmark, Ireland, Scotland and Spain - Chaprin said: "Theoretically, we can hold the championship in 12 countries, 11, 10, 3 or one. When asked if he would support the division of the tournament into so many countries, he replied: "I do not think so.
It is a big challenge, but I am convinced that the euro will be played next summer. "
If and when it is decided to hold the tournament in only one country, the French media claim that it will most likely be Russia.
"This is a scenario that is being seriously considered," La Parisienne wrote.
"At the beginning of the global crisis, the host of the 2018 World Cup offered to help and hold the Euro at her home, on the original dates - June 12 to July 12, 2020."
It was also written that Russia emphasized its low number of infections at the time - but according to the latest data, 1.6 million people were registered in the country, and more than 28,000 died.
Still: Russia is not giving up on the idea of hosting the Euros next summer, with one of the biggest benefits playing out in their favor being the success of hosting the World Cup two years ago.
"Another question," the French media wrote, "is whether to host in all of Russia, or only in St. Petersburg. The country's borders were closed on March 18, but sports teams continued to enter. The UEFA claims they have not made a decision and will take the time to decide ".

Another option that has come up is to host the tournament in Azerbaijan, but it is hard to believe that the UEFA will choose this path due to the ongoing crisis with Armenia.
