Football’s coming home. Sort of. After Wembley was named by Uefa as the host for the semi-finals and final of its ambitious pan-continental Euro 2020 finals, Roy Hodgson predicted the decision will provide a big incentive for the younger players in his England squad to win it.
Uefa’s president, Michel Platini, confirmed that Wembley had been unanimously awarded the so-called “finals package” after the German Football Association, the only rival bid, said it was more interested in hosting Euro 2024 in its entirety and in effect withdrew.
The FA’s chairman, Greg Dyke, said there was no binding deal with the Germans, who will host a quarter-final and three group stage matches instead in Munich’s Allianz Arena, but confirmed it would likely back them for Euro 2024.
