UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin said that the four matches due to be staged in Brussels would be played at London's Wembley stadium instead, in addition to the two semi-finals and final already scheduled to be played there.

The 2020 tournament is the first to be played under a new format with group games spread across several countries.
