A year later than the competition's official title might suggest, Euro 2020 is finally kicking off this week.
Delayed, like just about every other competition was in one way or another by the coronavirus pandemic, the Euros will go ahead somewhat as planned a year later as a pan-European quest to crown the continental champion. Two of the initial host sites, Dublin and Bilbao, were forced to back out, but 11 cities across UEFA's regional territory will stage matches, from Friday's opener at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome to the July 11 final at Wembley Stadium in London.
