Format of EURO 2020 can be changed, APA reports.

UEFA intends to decrease the number of cities, to host matches, due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Even a variant of holding the competition in 4 stadiums of a country is also discussed. This measure will be taken for fewer visits of teams.

It has been noted that due to occurrences in Nagorno Garabagh, Baku, as well as Sankt-Petersburg, will be the first cities to be removed from the list.

Note that EURO-2020, which had to be held in 12 countries, was postponed until 2021 due to coronavirus.
