Good news gfor those who are invested in this kind of thing: Wembley has been selected to host both the semi-finals and the final of Euro 2020 following today’s UEFA ExCo (executive committee) vote in Geneva.

It was a straight choice between Wembley and the Allianz Arena for final hosting duties, with the ExCo eventually deciding in favour of the FA’s prize pig.

As you may recall, Euro 2020 is to be staged across 13 cities across the entire continent at the behest of UEFA president Michel Platini, with the four quarter-finals confirmed to be taking place in Munich, Baku (Azerbaijan), St. Petersburg and Rome.

Dublin and Glasgow are both in there too, with Cardiff being the unlucky losers in terms of UK bids.

The full list of host cities is as follows, as per UEFA.com:

England/London: semi-finals and final

Azerbaijan/Baku: three group games, one quarter-final
Germany/Munich: three group games, one quarter-final
Russia/St. Petersburg: three group games, one quarter-final
Italy/Rome: three group games, one quarter-final

Belgium/Brussels: three group games, one round of 16 game
Denmark/Copenhagen: three group games, one round of 16 game
Hungary/Budapest: three group games, one round of 16 game
Netherlands/Amsterdam: three group games, one round of 16 game
Republic of Ireland/Dublin: three group games, one round of 16 game
Romania/Bucharest: three group games, one round of 16 game
Scotland/Glasgow: three group games, one round of 16 game
Spain/Bilbao: three group games, one round of 16 game

We’re only amazed not to see Qatar make the list!
