La Cartuja in Seville to host Euro 2020 games, instead of San Mamés
Seville has stepped in to stage matches originally due to be held in Bilbao, while St Petersburg and London will host Dublin's games at Euro 2020.
UEFA has announced that Euro 2020 matches originally scheduled to be held in Bilbao and Dublin will be moved to new venues. While Munich was ratified as a host venue for the tournament after confirming it would be able to permit 14,500 spectators for its games, Bilbao and Dublin could make no such guarantees.
La Cartuja to host Group E games
Following discussions with the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF), the three Group E games and a round-of-16 match due to take place at Athletic Club's San Mamés stadium in Bilbao will instead be staged at La Cartuja in Seville with the intention of allowing 30% capacity.
Meanwhile, Dublin's three Group E matches have been reallocated to St Petersburg, which is already hosting three Group B games and a quarter-final, while the round-of-16 contest that was set take place in the Irish capital will now be held at Wembley.
UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin said: "We have been working diligently with the host associations and local authorities to ensure a safe and festive environment at the games and I am really pleased that we are able to welcome spectators at all matches for a celebration of national team football across the continent. UEFA wishes to express its appreciation and gratitude to the cities of Bilbao and Dublin – both of which are considered as good venues to host future UEFA events – the national and regional governments of Spain and the Republic of Ireland, and all local stakeholders for their dedication, professionalism and efforts over the past years. UEFA would also like to thank the Football Association of Ireland and its dedicated staff for their excellent collaboration and hard work, and is looking forward to continuing to work with the remaining eleven host associations in delivering UEFA EURO 2020 matches."
