As we know Euro 2020 was supposed to be held in 2020. However, the global pandemic made some changes to its schedule and it was postponed. Finally, EURO 2020 has started! The very first match was played between Turkey – Italy and we will see more matches. But why it is not called “EURO 2021” but “EURO 2020”?
EURO 2020 is a big event not only in Europe but also in the world. 24 teams will compete with each other from June 11 to July 11. The vaccination regulations gave everyone hope and EURO 2020 has begun! But even if it is 2021, why the name of the competition is still the same?
2020 was UEFA’s 60th year (1960 – 2020) and calling it “EURO 2020” is important for its heritage and saving its originality. It was announced that the name wouldn’t be changed by the UEFA committee because everything for EURO 2020 was ready (since it is a regularly arranged event). Actually, the decision was resulted from “not producing more wasted product” which is a very eco-friendly reason. A lot of companies, brands, and sponsors had already produced their products according to 2020, not 2021.
In other words, keeping the name original is a big sign of how we respond against this hard situation not only in Europe but also in the world.
Whether it’s EURO 2020 or EURO 2021 we will still have the same teams playing with the same passion and if you want to support your favorite teams, we have a great way to show you! BET-IBC tipsters offer you a lot of winning tips for EURO 2021 make sure to check it out!
