For the first time ever, the tournament is being held in almost a dozen countries, with 11 stadiums hosting a whole array of matches for our entertainment. Of course, the continuing global pandemic has forced some drastic changes in plans, with several cities losing the right to stage the competition, after being unable to guarantee the entrance of fans into their stadiums.

So, following a series of negotiations, UEFA was able to cherry pick 11 cities which promised to allow supporters to enjoy the special occasion in the flesh, and they are sharing all 51 matches.

But which countries are hosting Euro 2020? Which stadiums have been chosen, and how many supporters will be allowed to each event? 90min has got all the info you could possibly desire.

Next up is Baku. The Azerbaijani capital is aiming to allow around 35,000 supporters into the Olympic Stadium, a whopping 50% of their impressive arena. That would hopefully mean half the seats would be filled to witness their four matches, whipping up a frenetic atmosphere for Wales vs Switzerland on 12 June, Turkey vs Wales on 16 June, and Switzerland vs Turkey on 20 June.

Baku then boasts the honour of hosting one of the quarter-finals, which will be played on 3 July.

Hungary is hosting the group of death: three epic clashes between Hungary and Portugal, Hungary and France, then finally Portugal and France - all played in front of a full stadium. Wow.
