UEFA’s Executive Committee decided in Lausanne, Switzerland, on 6 December 2012 to stage a ‘EURO for Europe’ in 2020, rather than a tournament in one or two host countries. 

UEFA President Michel Platini, the initiator of the idea, expressed great anticipation for UEFA EURO 2020.

“In 2020, the EURO will never have better lived up to its name,” he said. “It will be decidedly continental and profoundly European. It will be a EURO of unity and shared experiences. It will, of course, be a new challenge – a challenge of a new kind … [and with] one single language: football.”
