Background

European football's governing body UEFA appears to be moving forward with plans to stage Euro 2020 in cities across the continent. Doing so could help reduce costs for hosting such a major sporting event, officials say.

UEFA President Michel Platini wants to have the plans discussed at the December 7 executive committee meeting, and ratified in January.

As the European Championship expands from 16 to 24 teams in 2020, half of the qualified teams would be seeded and serve as host countries. A team is seeded if it qualifies and is ranked in the top 12 in Europe.

The 12 seeded teams - two from each group - would host the group stage and round of 16. The quarterfinals would be played at a neutral venue, and the semifinals and final would be played in a 13th city.

Based on the current FIFA ranks, matches could also take place in Madrid, Lisbon, Rome, London, Amsterdam, Moscow, Zagreb, Athens, Basel, Paris and Brussels.
