Spanish association brings Seville into play as a European Championship venue

by alex

Bilbao is one of those places that the European Football Union has not yet confirmed as the host city for the EM in the summer. Should UEFA cancel Bilbao, the Spanish association still hopes to host European Championship games in Spain. Seville was brought into play as a possible replacement location, as association president Luis Rubiales said on Friday. So far, Bilbao has not been able to guarantee UEFA that spectators will be able to attend the matches.

As for Munich and Dublin, there is a deadline until next Monday to provide further information on the admission of fans. Then the UEFA Executive Committee will decide on the number of hosts for the tournament from 11 June to 11 July, in which Austria will face Ukraine, Netherlands and North Macedonia in the group stage. Three group games and one round of 16 are planned for the Estadio San Mames in Bilbao.

“It is true that there are some difficulties in Bilbao. Should UEFA remove Bilbao as the host city, it would be terrible for us to have the matches played in another country. I will do everything in our power to make Spain a host country Seville's La Cartuja is a fantastic stadium that has everything a European Championship stadium needs, “said Rubiales.
