Kicking of in June 2020, the 16th European Championship tournament will be held across 12 cities in 12 different countries for the first time in the tournament’s history.

Former UEFA President Michel Platini proposed the idea of spreading the tournament across Europe to mark the 60th anniversary of the competition.

With no set host nation, there are no automatic qualifiers and nations can only reach the finals by either finishing in the top two of their qualifying group, or by winning a qualifying play-off which will take place in March 2020.

In total, 12 venues have been specifically selected by UEFA for the tournament - and the final is coming to London.

Here is all you need to know about each of the 12 stadiums…
