Will the EM 2021 take place in Munich or not?
UEFA will make a decision on Friday - the DFB are confident in advance.
Munich - The decisive day has come: Today, Friday, April 23, it will be decided whether Munich will host the EM 2021 * or not. Shortly before the meeting of the UEFA Executive Committee, the DFB * is firmly assuming that the Bavarian capital will remain among the venues. “We are convinced that Munich will remain a location for the UEFA EURO 2020. In the past few days we have received a lot of encouragement from politicians for our responsible planning, ”said DFB General Secretary Friedrich Curtius
when asked
by
SID
.
The Bavarian state government has also "once again clearly confirmed" its support.
The DFB therefore “looks forward to the decision of the UEFA Executive Committee with great confidence,” said Curtius.
The committee of the European Football Union (UEFA) will decide on the wobbly candidates for the EURO in summer (June 11th to July 11th) at a special meeting on Friday from 10 a.m.
EM 2021 in Munich?
UEFA decides on Friday - One game already gone?
“This also includes possible opening scenarios for games with spectators based on our scenarios with around 25 percent of the utilization of the spectator capacity in the Allianz Arena - of course always assuming a correspondingly positive development of the pandemic situation,” said Curtius. The Bavarian state government and the city of Munich have so far avoided the spectator guarantee actually required by UEFA.
The preliminary round matches of the German national team * against France (June 15), Portugal (June 19) and Hungary (June 23) are all scheduled in Munich. A decision has apparently already been made - if it really is, that would be bad news for Munich: According to
Sportschau
, the quarter-finals planned there could be moved to another city because significantly fewer fans will be allowed than in other European countries. So won't the game scheduled for July 2nd increase in Munich? According to
Sportschau
information, it is not yet clear
where the quarter-finals will be held as an alternative
.
Nine cities had already been confirmed as hosts before the UEFA * special meeting. In addition to Munich, the Bilbao and Dublin locations also wobbled - Bilbao has already been canceled.
