UEFA EURO 2020 – Summer 2021 finals to become major live sports event and betting highlight The 2020 UEFA European Football Championship finals promises to be THE major sports and betting event. While the venues are preparing for the upcoming live matches and necessary complex entry protocols, the excitement is also rising among sports betting providers. ADMIRAL Sportwetten are ready to offer the best selection of bets and attractive odds for all sports betting enthusiasts.
The jubilee edition of the European Football Championship, UEFA EURO 2020, was originally scheduled to take place in the year of the tournament’s 60th anniversary, 2020. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, last year the UEFA had to take the decision to postpone the finals by one year. The kick-off for this major football event will now take place on 11 June 2021 at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome with the match between Turkey and Italy.
EURO 2020 is likely to break all records.

The other matches will for the first time take place in ten host cities across Europe. Originally, 12 were planned – Bilbao and Dublin, however, were revised by the UEFA in mid-April. The remaining host cities are Amsterdam, Baku, Budapest, Bucharest, Glasgow, Copenhagen, London, Munich, Rome and St Petersburg. The two semi-finals on 6 and 7 July and the final on 11 July will be played at the London Wembley Stadium. Thus only those cities will now host matches that are likely to admit at least limited spectator capacity. This guarantees
a real live stadium atmosphere for this major tournament – a big asset for fans and for players, as there have already been too many ghost matches recently. Finland and Northern Macedonia will be first-time finalists in a European Championship. The defending champion is the team from Portugal while England, Belgium and France are considered favourites in the run-up to the tournament. Austria, on the other hand, is currently dealt with maximum odds. Also the sports betting providers and bookmakers are gearing up for a major event. 51 games on 30 match days with 24 national teams competing for the European Championship title. ADMIRAL Sportwetten is the undisputed number 1 in the branch and online betting business in its home market of Austria. ADMIRAL is also represented in numerous other European countries with an excellent sports betting offer, for example in Serbia,
